    You know what, I'd watch you detect a paved car park.
    I'd learn everything about the area and go away smiling.
    Cheers to another day! 🥃

    i have always appreciated that in most episodes you regularly mention how long its been since your last good signal, how much junk you've uncovered before the live dig in progress, how long its been since the last coin, and so on. And the sound of your shovel hitting the ground was a really good indication of how cold its been.

    When I heard your shovel "clank" when it hit the ground, I thought, "Yes, that ground is definitely frozen at the top."

    Those days happen to the best of us but you know what I'd still watch you dig can-slaw all day just to hear your stories!

    That happens more often than not. Even in places you would think no one has been on (wishful thinking) for a couple of hundred years, the pull tabs abound.

    Maybe, just Maybe I should stop Subri
    Bing. Met Office my excuse is that
    95% of the weather comes from West
    Northwest. Terrible interesting to
    See how weather will in Perthsire.
    Wonder why!?😜 Almost hoping
    Denmark loose to Portugal in quarter-
    Final Nations League. Because then
    It will be Scotland in the WM
    Qualifikation. No whisky this ,X mas??
    Take care of yourself John! Best
    Entertainment this year. Well sort of!
    Digger Dans channel not bad at all.

    If its a 70's berryfield then it will be full of crap. On the plus side they sometimes throw up some childrens stuff from that period also. Toy soldiers, cannons and some collectable badges of the day. Berry picking was a pastime for the whole family and a great day day out. Cheers!

    Maybe the owner should pay you a little sum for cleaning the metal out of his field for him, perhaps weigh each bag of finds at the end of your dig and agree upon a few pounds per pound?
