It's Now Official

[Monaro Pete]

The MG finally gave up this morning. I believe the slave cylinder in the gearbox has finally gone.

It's the sort of thing I could do, but I won't (body won't let me).
The Terrano is insured & taxed as of this morning so I'm an official Terrano driver

We had to postpone a trip to my mother's today, it's on for tomorrow instead. A trip to the sea side is also on the cards so whilst Diane's taking Monkey Dog for a walk along the beach, I shall be partaking in my little hobby of metal detecting

You ever found anything decent metal detecting?

Nothing special. The usual, coins, spent cartridges, things you just can't identify & loads of window.

I enjoy it, because I can just switch off. My mind wanders

Firstly, congratulations you will now be able to see over bushes and over grown grass on motorway round abouts

Secondly, have you heard of drag fishing with a magnet?, saw it on youtube. A length of rope and a magnet, throw magnet in water and pull back with rope, see if owts on the end I also sometimes watch a couple of guys who go looking for buried or inaccessible WW bunkers etc., very interesting.

I have heard of drag fishing. Problems are........ What ever you find is rusty as hell, small (unless you have a magnet the size of a football, then you'd never carry it let alone drag it ) & you only find iron based metals.
It's bad enough digging something iron on land.
Gold comes out just as the day it was lost. Not that I've ever found any

Ah yeh just iron, never thought.

One day mate, one day

When you say "window", do you mean the stuff the allies lobbed out of the planes near the German coast to confuse their radar?

Yep, that's the stuff. Throws up all manner of readings

[Monaro Pete]

I should say that all what I've found so far has been in one spot in Derbyshire
