This is me; this is what i do, & how i do it…

Thanks for joining me! & please be patient with me as i try to explain about me & my Treasure Hunting, & some may say collecting, if that’s the case so be it, but it is still all treasure to me;

I will also include what Treasure Hunting means to me, & obviously the hobby of metal detecting, & how i think you might want to get started with metal detecting, without any frills or pressure to buy something you really don’t need, a lot of metal detecting equipment can be bought as & when, plus we will have an excursion or two into other Treasure Hunting expeditions, & various other things i collect along the way…

i really believe in this quote from; Izaak Walton – Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter…

I see Treasure Hunting as more than Metal Detecting, and it encompasses every aspect of finding lost or discarded items from our past, included here will be other peoples collections or items they have bought to collect & that i have now acquired,  along with my own collections of various items, from cigarette cards, tea cards, rocks, fossils, sea shells & basically anything old or new that takes my fancy, right through to anything else that catches my eye, if i like it or even if i am not that keen on something but it needs rescuing then i will publish it here for all to see…

So instead of having one long page of writing & me waffling on, & you the reader getting bored, & having to speed read to find the interesting bits, i have divided it all up into little segments, in the drop-downs… this way there is enough words of explanation with photos, to hopefully engage you, as the reader with meaningful tone…

Sand-Scratching-with Bri…

Welcome to Sand-scratching;

We are all familiar with the term Beach-Combing, the art of walking the beaches and picking up what the sea has left behind, the word beach-combing, is an Americanised word, but here in England it “historically” would have had, many different “local” names, as beach-combing is a generalised name for the art of finding what Neptune has given back;

Sand-Scratchier-Bri has added a relatively modern twist to the idea of Beach-Combing, again using minimal tools, with the notable use of a pin-pointer, which is an electronic probe, much-loved by Metal Detectorists to retrieve the finds from within the hole, they have just dug…
