We noticed another effect of the TV show today. Something on the radio used the opening of "The Sounds of Silence" and we just giggled. We so enjoy the S&G snark Andy and Lance throw at the dim whateversharks whenever they meet. Our giggling will probably baffle our S&G fan friends from now on.I wonder if Detectorists on BBC has caused a spike in detector sales?
It's tempted me....

I'm not sure yet but I know this guy pretty well, he's very clever at tech related stuff .. something to do with a metal plate connecting the two together? .. all he's said so far is that the calculator inner workings are sensitive to being used with AM frequency .. you turn the radio dial and wait for different feedback sound when detecting apparently. I'll wait for the next car boot sale to see if I can pick up a cheap radio.How would you connect the 2 gadgets together?

I spoke to him tonight and he directed me to this site .. now all I need to do is scour the car boots for a cheap AM abled radio, I've got everything else needed ..Probably thinking of this:

Read the article. The ashes were in a metal urn, which was put in the Vanish tub, (presumably to keep water out).So how did a metal detector find a plastic tub? And why would you put the ashes in a Vanish tub? Iirc you don't pick them up in a paper bag.
Bloody big tub of Vanish.

3.3l for an adult. Are they sure she wasn't a cat or something?
They'd just chuck the rest in the bin I expect .. my mate's son used to smoke so much weed that I told him when he eventually dies and is cremated, we're all just going to stand around the chimney with giant paper rolls and inhale ..As far as Im aware you get the lot. What would they do with the rest? You can't just pour it down the sink
I have heard of Mercury fillings in teeth being a problem. If so, something for the undertakers to deal with. Passing on mercury to the bereaved might be looked down upon!It would be classed as hazardous waste I bet - it'd probably have to go to special landfill
It sounds like no more than he deserved. It would be a sad day if we couldn't trust the Police.A policeman and metal detector enthusiast is being reported as just having the sack in Norfolk for trying to swindle a land owner out of a £15,000 gold coin metal detector find ..

On a slightly related note, I plan to try gold panning soon. It is something I have always wanted to try. It is not really about the gold, more about washing about in a stream which sounds like a nice way to spend the time and a vegetarian form of fishing. There will be a gold dance of course should I inadvertently find anything.
Wow interesting. I didn' t know it was possible to pan for tin too though I know you can find gems such as garnets.Cornwall was scene of prehistoric gold rush, says new research
A detailed analysis of some of Western Europe’s most beautiful gold artefacts suggests that Cornwall was a miniature Klondyke in the Early Bronze Age

Sounds perfect! Thanks for the link, that looks really useful. I expect planning via geological maps to be part of the fun! (Sounds sad..)They also let you have a go at panning for gold. I loved it the first time. I found a decent amount (and by that I mean 3 or 4 grains per pan. You don't get rich panning for gold). But it is incredibly meditative and soothing. I stood undisturbed and blissfully happy for 4 hours whilst the wife and kids explored the mine, played and ate lunch.

Oops I missed this the first time. No, South Lanarkshire.Good luck! Off to Wales, are you?
