Natures Aid Brewers Yeast Tablets

Just incase anyone want's to know what Natures Aid Brewers Yeast Tablets look like before you buy them. Here you are. There quite small and easy to swallow.

C-Scope-CS1MX-Metal-Detector

C-Scope-CS1MX-Metal-Detector. Good detector but my time is very limited these days, so it's hard to get out and play with it. And the issue with having permission to metal detect in the good places is a bit of a pain. I paid £150 for mine about two years ago, but for some reason since that time they have gone up in price to £180..

It's been many years since I wrote this post. This metal detector was sold a good while back and I haven't been metal detecting since. The "hobby" (if it ever was that) got put on the back burner. However, as time has gone on, and the interest for metal detecting has come back a little, mostly due to reading the local paper and seeing some people finding amazing hoards of treasure (gold coins, silver roman coins etc), it has sparked my interest in the hobby again.

I might buy another detector. A used model from eBay. Possibly an old Minelab or Tesoro. Or even an old Compass detector. A real classic golden oldie. I would also consider another C.Scope, even a CS1MX at the right price. But, because I have already owned one before, I kind of want to try something different. We'll see what happens in terms of what pops up and presents itself when I happen to be looking / buying.

The only problem for me, and many other detectorists is where to detect. I always had this issue. Where can you go were you don't need permission to hunt. This is one of the main aspects of metal detecting that has always annoyed me. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

Compaq Evo N620c Laptop. Seen better days but still works well.

Dansette Bermuda

Old Dansette Bermuda Monarch Record Player. Seen better days but would make a really good restoration project. This one needs a new needle / cartridge but other then that it still works! I know there are a lot of collectors out there for Vintage Dansette record players so might consider selling it on eBay or similar. How much is it worth? Anyone..

Masons Ivory Mini Jug

Looking through some of my old boxes up the loft I found this dusty jug. It’s a Masons “Ivory” mini jug. I can’t find out much about it online. There are lots of Mason’s jugs online but none of this particular "Ivory" design. Most are patterned and colourful.
