Very close. General Metal Detecting (for coins and relics). The heading is close but not quite right. Possibly less catogories for this section to keep it simple. . Cheers... Any suggestions for the title tweak? Less categories - which ones do you think could be dumped? I know there's a lot of duplicates with the gold ones, but there's a lot of people that will have an interest in only one or the other I reckon. Thanks again for the input :) A question comes to mind. Is the new section based on detecting, rocks, treasure finds, gems and stuff or just general other detecting. I guess its fair to say that the bigger emphasis seems to be on metaldetecting. Dump the last two catogories and take the word ''metal detecting" out of each writeup. This is my thought for a heading name. METAL DETECTORING and TREASURES . Edited by user Saturday, 16 June 2012 11:59:55 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

As for the blog thing if it is easy to work and sort of keeps my threads together then all good as my son who is on this site - only to spy though - knows all about these blog things as he has a blogspot himself. I had not added anything in any case due to a seemingly lack of interest and had decided to maybe turn them into a private diary on paper for my kids instead. Brrr... I'm cold just reading your post! Yes, think I'll be waiting for slightly better weather before I go on any more missions!! Cheers, Gav :)

Will keep the "Buy, Sell & Trade" section as outlined above, so this will serve this need. Don't want to introduce too many sections as think it will get a little too confusing ;)

Thinking of improving the maps / locations page so will give it some thought ;) I dont think putting areas were you can camp here and get gold there is a good idea at all wev had this topic come up a few time,s the sight isnt here to cater for tourists ...exkiwi you no you can get pretty much what ever info you want of this sight and im sure a few pm,s will answer any questions that somehow arnt on here without advertising it for the world to see like lammy once said gold is finite.

If you mean "do the icons change"? Then sadly, no. Figured it was a small sacrifice to pay for adding images (instead of folder icons) that better show distinction between gold and general metal detecting.
