Last nights metal detecting meeting!!

Posted by ricey on January 4, 2007 3:00 PM | 

Last night was South Lancs and Cheshire Metal Detecting Clubs first club meeting of 2007. It was a great meeting. In total there were around 55 members in attendance and the meeting started at 8.30pm.

We were advised a couple of future rallies including a possible outing to North Wales. There were a few finds made during the month and I will try and bring you upto date with these in due course.

We were originally going to have our Coin/Find of the year competitions however a number of members forgot their finds. I enclose photos of aome finds made during 2005 and these will be entered into the competition next month. To reming everybody we also have a speaker from Norton Priory Museum in February and we will also have a small buffet.

For those interested I enclose images of some of the coins that will be put forward as best coin of the year 2006. There will be both a late and early coin categeory.
