Hey All

[Sunray39]

I am particularly interested in British Military Badges, Buttons etc.

I am ex military [9 years Army], and spend much of my time nowadays digging holes on farmland [with the owners permission] looking for lost history beneath our feet in Norfolk and Suffolk.

I enjoy finding and researching and recording all things military, often uncovering cap badges, collar dogs, dog tags, cartridge cases etc.

I'll post a few photos once I get into the forum a little further.

Hey Michael ...

Thanks for the welcome

That's some website you have there mate *Thumbs Up* I have only had a brief browse so far but look forward to visiting there again later today - excellent work ...

The metal detecting certainly helps to keep us fit. I must walk bloomin miles when I'm out for a day in the field, digging and crawling around in the mud brings back service memories too ...

Swing the light mate and I'll tell you some stories - lmao
