    My Ireland trips best find's

    I made two trips over to Ireland, one in 2002 and the other in 2004. I stayed about three months each trip. I stead at Slane Farm Hostel. They have 257 acres that you can detect, and a old village site, and a old abbey site, and a old ring fort site. I only detected a small amount of there property. I found old coins, and botton, and other artefact there, most are from the mid 1700's, the oldies was a Edward the I London mint silver penny about 1280 AD. A few from the late 1600's. Most of the coins are half penny's, and a few are British. See photo. The Edward the I is a little ploughed damaged.

    Re: My Ireland trips best find's

    Nice finds. I would say the laws are strict regarding relics and relic hunting, but the enforcement is pretty lax. As long as you don't hunt a national monument site or a historical site, people will leave you alone. If anybody is planning a trip then look me up when you get here. I'm pretty new to the hobby and I'm always looking for company.

    Re: My Ireland trips best find's

    And here's my little helper, my son David. I had him out this weekend, and he was fascinated by my metal detecting. He picked up a stick and started sweeping it around like he was metal detecting with it. XCan't waiit till he's big enough to get him his own detector.

    Re: My Ireland trips best find's

    I missed that spot, maybe there was no geocache's there at the time I was there. I did all my detecting at Slane Farm, but I did go out geocaching, for a week at a time using the bus, so I was some what limited to were I went. Ya I plan on going back in a year or so. If I go I will let you know, and maybe you can show me so good spots.

    Very nice old coins! Not many people detect in ireland!

    That's true. I never see anyone else out detecting.
