Please share the Metal Detecting News!
Hi, and welcome to the latest edition of Metal Detecting News!
Finally the weather seems to be getting cooler, though I hear we are in for another heatwave on Monday ;-( Hope this one is just for the Bank Holiday, we don’t need it any longer than that! We do need some rain though, quite a lot preferably, before Detectival, RCM no Frills, and the rest of the summer rallies - all just around the corner now and I’m not sure my feet can take anymore jumping up and down on my spade! Agree Adrian? |  |
As always, a massive thanks to our amazing sponsors, Treasure Hunting magazine, RUTUS, Composite Cleaning Pencil and The Big Detecting Show for their continued support.
