I took my detector to a field near me which held car boots up until a few years ago . Wow. After 6 hrs I found a 18k gold ring ,126 coins and two old medals chained together. Not huge value but time flew. Makes a change from spending hours and finding nothing Report this Post to the Staff

Anything between 20-100 vehicles with everyone either selling the contents of their attic, or stuff they've bought at a previous boot sale and subsequently discovered to be junk. And of course, we can't get enough of them. Report this Post to the Staff
Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 10/28/2012 05:57 am UK car boot = US car trunk Sounds a good idea. I have been to quite a few boot sales looking for coins or banknotes. So far all I have found is rubbish, or overpriced rubbish. But I live in hope of finding that 2nd 1954 penny....

Detecting on the sites is a great idea.

At one time it was a source of interesting bits as a seller/buyer. Now we get pit bull crosses etc overpriced breakfasts and the smell of giro's. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/12/2012 4:10 pm Peter - although I'm not quite so...uh, unPC, I agree. Last time I went to a carboot sale, I couldnt buy something because the seller didnt speak english. The deals still come from families selling their stuff, just weave about and hope the swarm hasnt taken all the good stuff (when I last sold, before I could even get a table up, someone actually OPENED MY CAR DOOR and started rifling through the stuff, pushing stuff out. They didnt speak english either, so I had to go and pry them off of my car. It was scary, people stole stuff from me. Next time, I will lock the doors and tell them to shove off so I can set up in peace.) Report this Post to the Staff
