Hi just thought I would update you on my metal detecting. As you know very new to it and have not had much chance to get out and about, lousy weather and myself not being well. Found plenty if old coke cans and even found myself tugging at this piece of metal which turned out to be a pipe running along underground.Yikes! Got a lot to learn. I have found an old. Horse shoe and a silver S initial. I have tried to upload a pic but no success, pretty useless i am ,but I will keep on trying. Looking forward to better weather and better finds.

Hi cools. What I do is upload my pictures to photobucket.com then copy the image URL and paste it into the reply box. Hope this helps. Looking forward to seeing your finds. Haven't been out that much the past few months, but will upload what I've found in the next few days

Thanks fillbo. So easy to do most would say but me being more senior should we say, I am being dragged into this techno age kicking and screaming. I have stopped kicking now and trying to keep up,just scream a little now.

Well done Cools.
As filbo says, Hope the horseshoe brings you good luck. And with your future finds.
Try and give the horseshoe a good clean up and polish.

Been out this morning found these bits of metal. I was quite excited by what I thought was a figure holding something but showed them to thus guy who was interested to see if I'd found anything and he thinks it's just Molton metal twisted together . Burst my bubble what do you think it is then folks. I thought I'd got my first good find Xplore.

I think he was right cools. I get that all the time, and it gives a good signal! Keep at it. I've just got back in from a hunt, didn't get much but was a lovely day for getting out smile
