Still a Waste of time

Originally loaded app a year ago but couldn’t get it to work. Removed app and reloaded it

Don’t bother loading it as there is no support either
Shame as it’s s good idea

Britain at low tide

Just heard about this app on Channel 4's "Britain at Low Tide". Interested in coastal archaeology as I live within an area of The Wash and hear local tales about "King John's Jewels". Hoping to find out more around the UK, such as the wreck of HMS Sheraton just off Hunstanton, West Norfolk.

Archaeological geocaching!
