Still, there's endless opportunity to become a proper nerd, historical books of the UK, old maps if possible, LIDAR, etc. Just got the doubts that someone as been there, done it and bought the wardrobe.

Arry 18,580 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Out for couple of hours in a field today two coins, bit gutted worn. A bit of brass that I think horses reins went through. A rivet fro an old belt that probably drove a thrashing machine. And a bit of no ferris slag. Thought I was on the colour when I first saw the shine in the black mud of the river mud the other day. An old oil lamp top that still works if you put a wick in it. One of the deepest things I have found. Cheers Arry 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive done the same fields time and time again and still find stuff,different ground conditions can give signals you might not have picked up previously like you’d get a better signal over damper ground than dry and also a most machines have different programs installed and you can f**k about with them to suit the ground your on .when you think you’ve done a field to death there’s still stuff on it 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might have been ploughed hundreds of times, but at what depth and has it been detected hundreds of times after every ploughing? Every single square inch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They deep plough I think? There's still million quid treasures found every single year, all sorts buried and found, get Treasure Hunter or The Searcher magazine, have a look in, this island has loads hidden below, lots will never be found, and new losses, all sorts, good luck, one day you could be the next Eric Lawes (I hope so ). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR TEA POT 1,287 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Ive got a Vanquish 440, I brought it to find lost mole traps normally when livestock move marking pins. Going to give proper metal detecting ago. Ive got over 1500 acres to go at in the Midlands and in the Peak District so hopefully find something . What are the best finds you folks have had? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot will deep leg subsoil land now to rip out plough pans to aid drainage. That would pull up something deep down 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
