Blackbriar 8,568 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Excellent idea ! I've long pondered about having a go, so I'd be interested in learning a bit about it. There's probably specialist forums, but I'll wager that they're populated by the type of bloke I spend my time avoiding, if you know what I mean - we've got some smart fellas on here, so I reckon it could be a runner ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My brother was part of a team,they would find out were archeologest would be digging and go at night and clean up. theres good and bad in every game ,don't matter what we do they is those we trust and those we should never trust. its good to just be out in the fields and when I go m d I take a dog along for company . you never know what next find will be , 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chaff 3,414 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Will dig my finds box, mostly worthless but interesting. Have posted a few finds on here before under the title dirt fishing. Picture of an old lead stamp with a running dog on it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will go to a narrow win by full referendum, followed by nearly 3 years of negotiation, endless infighting and a lengthy extension before there's a section called "Here treasure, treasure, treasure !" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithie 2,424 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I once found a gold roman war coin in Norfolk. It was on top of the soil and I found it by eye. I asked the keeper if I could use a metal detector but he said no Never been back.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a hundred such coins just under the surface in the remains of a broken storage pot,yours was brought up by the plough to show you where to search 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithie 2,424 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 It was on top of the mound the Plough makes. I would not have seen it but the rabbits had eaten litraly acres or peas so this part was bare soil.. Was an ambiani stater if I remember corectly. I bought a detector with the Intenting of having a go but the keeper said no and no is no. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
