Metal Detecting

[dean1 46]

Got a troy x3 and x5 both have paid for them selfs , haven't got out this year though

[foxtails 272]

 

I once dug up a flint axe head, which was estimated at upto 6000 years old.

With a metal detector?

 

lol IMPOSSIBLE lol

[foxtails 272]

iv got a garret euro ace with a tornado 13" coil, the coil itself cost half as much as the metal detector lol, anyway iv been detecting for about 2 years now, iv found about 40 silver coins, mostly 6 pences, and 3 pences, half crowns, i found a roman axe, a roman top part of a ring, and 2 gold cufflinks, but havent found no hammered coins, Yet only 1 roman, but still am optimistic though, theres still plenty out there to be found, thousands of years of activity, / battles/ect ect , just have to do a bit of research before going out, although its very frustrating when the farmers keep saying no no no ! one will say yes so just keep at it i say, also theres loads of detecting groups that anyone can join, the price for a days detecting ranges from £6 - £20 ! atb FT

Found my first roman coin the weekend so proper pleased with that, loads of musket balls but the thing that does my head in is buttons theyre everywhere

[smithie 2,424]

I once found a roman coin by eye. It had surfaced and was sat on top of the soil in a pea field..

As it happens the rabbits had eaten the peas off this part of the field

How do you detect flint with a metal detector? That's what I was asking. Or was the axe head a coincidental find?

[Nik_B 3,790]

No metal detecting but I'd love to see these places

Ah, get what your saying, i got the wrong end of the stick.

Ive found 'lithic' flint bladelets/knifes when out detecting- no your correct, the detector wont pick them up but when your detecting near tumuli you dig down and happen upon them if your lucky. If the lad found a 6000 yr old axe head it could be bronze age, that started roughly 5000/6000 years ago i think so its not impossible.
