I think I need to give up work so I can go detecting more. I'm lucky if I get out once a week for two or three hours. Can't complain I guess..... at least I have a detector and get to use it.

Like the 3/4 midgets at speedway which is what the car looks like, A very cool find. Would be easily sold I'd say as a lot of people collect speedway memorabilia (s.p?). Looks like you still cleaning up on silvers too! Good to find a diamond, havnt found one yet myself.
