thanks guys, still sore as i had nelly snapped it a few years ago and it's weak. it'll stop been sore by friday so i can get back out... i got a message from M/L as they are sending me a prize so i sent them a picture and this is what they said

Looks like it is quite a nice piece, is it possible for us to use it, in our adverts etc.



You could also write another success story and get someone to take a photo of you with it and the detector.

i was more than happy to say yes, so i have in some acid to give it a good clean so i can get a great picture.
cheers

Very nice 1/2ozer there Stoppsy, I hope your ankle gets better so you can go get it's big brother. and congrats on your M/L prize hope it's something useful.
