so the last week or so i have been feeling a bit down towards detecting and was almost set to give it away, but today has been a bit of a surprise, had a guy come into my shop to 'kill a little time' and we got talking, well he is the manager of a large property that has some very cool old history associated with it, well after a chat i thought i would just throw it out there and ask for permission to detect the area, he said yeah and wants to show me the spots where the old houses and sheds were that were torn down 50 or so years ago, needless to say it has really lifted the mood and has got me excited by the prospect, and as a sweetener a little bit of gold is known to be in the property
