Gutted working all weekend  >:(

Hi everyone, im new to this site but wondered if this was an open dig? Also which bridgewater is it? Two came up when i searched for it :)

Hi Adam, Dont know for sure, but suspect it will be the one in Somerset.

Its open to members of the forum only, but as you've joined, you are a member :)  

You just need insurance and to bring your £7 on the day.

Taff posts you the directions the night before the rally usually.

Signed up but knowing my luck work may intervene on one of the dates listed yet....  >:(

Thanks for your reply da monkey. iv got insurance and £7 so im halfway there :) unfortunately i wouldnt be able to make it if its in somerset tho but il keep my fingers crossed :)

A common typo, anyone who is googling it, it's "Bridgwater" without a middle "E" ;)

Nice and close one for me need to save petrol  ;)

Travelling with The Ferret ;D

See you guys there! :) :) :)

Hi all look forward to meeting  some of you on the 30th  :)

UPDATE

Ok have spoke to the farmer tonight and we have 10 fields of pasture amounting to around 70 acres. I've checked on google earth and most of these fields have been ploughed in the last 10 years.

I also double checked if they have had detectorists on them before and its a definate no.
However , they did tell that there was a small medieval hoard found in the next door farm 2 years ago.

As the forcast is fine (if cold) for the rest of the week, Geoff is going to put on a token hunt as well as the normal rally  :)

that sounds great, especially the token hunt, can't wait

can anyone tell me what the parking is going to be like for this rally?ie hardcore ,field whatever.
cheers

sadly myself Ian and Pete cannot make this one due to distanctance it would be a four hour drive each way in bad weather conditions

Good  luck to all who go

Lightweight ;D

Its a paddock. we have a dry cold week so should be firm.

nice one :)

Understand fella, it is a hell of a run for you, see you at a future rally  :)

job may be cancelled over the weekend so may be able to attend :)

well lets hope my lucks in for a change got to pay for the xp dues some how ??? ;D

Im sure you might find a olde penny or two. maybe three to pay for the big coil aswell  ::) :P :P ;D ;D :D :D

No , no and no. I have gone through pains to check and double check that this land has not had a rally on it. The rally was held on the farm next door. There has categorically not been a rally held on this farm.

No I don't think you read the write up did you? the small hoard was found on the next farm which had a rally and NOT this farm.
So your not being honest at all, your just starting a rumour :-\

Snap lol

Really guys, I was embarrassed enough after the last rally. There is no way I would hold a rally on a pasture farm that had already had a rally held on it.

I've put this post back as Romana deleted it. I want to ensure everyone has read it and not to think myself, admin or another moderator deleted it

Was wondering who you lot were talking to.  ;D

Ah well, see you tomorrow. Fingers crossed for lots of goodies.   8)

I thought id better delete it as I didnt want to cause any problems,
happy hunting guys, keith.

sorry guys me and markwilde not going to make this one ,just had some family business come up but hope you have a good day
cheers
andy

Apparently the Wacky races held a wacky tractor rally on this land its been ploughed to death!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Will have to cancel, doubled up with rheumatism in my knees  :'(

not alot found when i was there  i was unlucky two buttons one george 3 halfpenny  bad back stopped  my detecting all day hope someone found  something

Just read this Rob. Don't know why you need to have been embarrassed mate. The comments were about the awareness of landowners as to how much
money can be made for a rally on their land and the way they maybe portray that land to acquire the event.

Its quite simple if it effects people that much dont go to the rallies. You pay your money take your chance. Tafflaff keep it up mate doing excellent job.

Hi all

Thanks for today. I had 2 heart stoppers first one I thought was a Axe head when I first pulled it out the soil. Then second I thought Ohhhh a Purse bar but nope.. Oh well I did manage to find a William coin but I think the cow pats have eaten it away too much  :o
I also had a nice Viccy farthing in not bad condition.. Pats missed this one but might have been peed on LOL..  Now my best find of the day came early in the first half hour in the form of a PRATTS fuel cap still with its seal inside...


Cheers

Hi all, enjoyed a nice sunny day in Bridgwater, my finds were few, just a couple of pewter buttons, and two small coins, a real nice setting, and a very friendly farmer, thanks guys for all your hard work.

Spent a lot of time paddling knee-deep in s##t  to get around the farmland- thank goodness Morley was too busy freeing himself to get his camera out!!! Found one battered coin, a 10p piece, a sixth of a buckle and an, as yet unidentified, object along with a couple of medicine tubes. No-one I spoke to seemed to be finding much either so I decided to cut my losses at lunch time and go and play with the resident Collie, Lamb and Hens.
Jo.

Sorry I didn't Laugh MUCH ;D ;D ;D

I did mange to save her Garrett first mind you  ;)

Great photos Monkey - can you pop this and the photos into the rally report mate.

Love the close up of the hawk

Cheers
Neil.

i just love the picture with you and the hawk. I can't recall seeing another picture like this on DW.

What a great experience for you. Well worth the trip!

cheers

btw -- nice finds as well!  ;D ;D

That really made my day Al, I'd go back just for that experience again :) 

I can see why, the pictures will be a great memory for you. The enjoyment in your face, is plain to see.

well done on taking up the opportunity.
