Best regards.

DUDE,
YOU GUY'S ROCK !!!!!
I can never look at another seated dime and feel in awe again. I would give my left and right TESTICLE TO DETECT EUROPE AGAIN. I only had the opportunity to detect Germany for a short time and was blessed to find some Roman Relics. I hope you got to keep the Relics or at least had them donated to a worthy Museum for all too enjoy! What are the antequity laws in Scotland?

The camp of Longshanks was just outside the Scottish border near Wark on the river Tweed he advanced from his camp into Scotland items have been recorded. new finds have yet to be recorded. If you ever visit these parts you would be most welcome to search with us that goes for any of you guys on this forum.

Wow Great finds, I wish we had history like that here. Looks like plenty of wide open spaces to hunt too, One of these days I'll get that way, my great grandparents came over from Scotland when they were teenagers but i've never been there.

AWESOME video and finds, I noticed that both vids are the same. That would never happen over here, the AR-KEEL-HAUL-ogists, would never let us dig our own targets, they get flagged, then tell us to get out of their way!............NGE
