xp deus metal detector

So after a busy couple of weekends today we at last went detecting!! Spent the morning in the “quiet” field and found a hammered and another silver coin(?) so was super happy with that. After lunch i decided to go to his field where he has found countless Romans, just to annoy him! Found a few...

Just the one day detecting this weekend 😬 so despite the 40mph winds we had to go 😆 xx First a lovely spindle whorl, buckle and loops, some random shapes and buckle tongue, some shot, one at front has a hole? Tap, spoon end and another bit! 2 little cap/ends and 2 tack pins, a shiny corset...

Another day in the fields completed… it was freezing out there today… but you can’t beat detecting to the sound of the church bells on a Sunday morning 😍 xx What do we have for you today… it’s a smorgasbord that what it is…😂 let me start you off with another tiny seal I found… I believe it’s a...

Woke up to the perfect Saturday morning, cold and frosty but beautiful blue skies, so off we went to see what this week would bring. I found theses 2 super cute buckles, then we have another complete buckle and loop, a slightly bashed solider, a patterned bit, a chunk of lead that looks like...

A tad chilly here today, so we decided to head to the old race course, to see if we could find anything on the old track…. Well yes we found lead, and I found a cufflink, but apart from frozen fingers nothing else, so after lunch we had a couple of hours in yesterdays fields. Himself started...

After a long dull week back at the desk, was overly excited to get back to our fields! First off what I think could be a dress pin, but I could be wrong, half a pretty crotal bell, 2 chunky lead weights, bit of plate and 2 prongs 😆, cute little buckle, loop nd strange little square bit...

After torrential rain last night we were back on the grass fields near the castle, and boy was it wet 😬… the holes filled with water as soon as the plug was out… making for an unpleasant fish if find not out in the plug 😆 xx got my first lighter… it’s a zippo… but don’t think himself will be...

Finally got to go out again, weather has been wet and windy all week. Went back to the fields nearest the castle. The only downside to detecting here as the fields have been used for events so we get to dig lots of trash and modern coins, but we found a few nice bits to show you. Musket...

After a couple of days taking part in the Christmas visits, today we headed out for a festive swing, despite the 40 mph winds and drizzle it was great to be out. We went to the field that is alleged to contain a Roman Villa, just outside the village, alas no Roman treasure but plenty of pre dec...

So back we went to the field of dreams, as himself calls it…. Due to the number of Romans he has found there. After Christmas we will take them in to the FLO as I think we have come to the end .. over 100 Romans I think is more than enough! 😬 Dont be fooled by the nice looking day in the...

Ahh feels like forever since we got to go out! But it was a beautiful day so off we went. Back to the same field by the race course. I found 2 spindle whorls which I love, then quite a chunky tack pin/ bridle boss, then a weird piece… it’s not a spur, i think it’s a leg … made from bell metal...

Today we took my little seal into the FLO, as it’s classed as treasure, so we had a few hours to kill after so went swinging. Himself took himself off to his “Roman Corner’ he found another 5. I went to the top end of this field which has in the past been quiet, but luck was smiling on me and...

A freezing and foggy morning today, temps were -3 and didn’t get above freezing all day 🥶 xx but after a week at work, we needed to escape! We have been coming to these fields pretty much most weeks since beginning of September, now what I haven’t been keeping you up to date on is what himself...

As predicted a quiet day as I headed off to the field furthest from the village, very little lead/or iron, but found a couple of cool items, the first was about 3 mins of walking from the truck… it was silver, it was a concave disk, I was overly excited…. But alas to thin and no markings…. but...

Woke up to the first proper frost 😬 but the sun was out and it was a beautiful day to be out in the fresh air. Got a couple of cracking buckles today, just love them! 😆 then a beauty livery button, it’s been a while, so was very pleased to see it! Another stylus and part of a brooch, 3 muskets...

We were meant to have a day off for detecting today, but only actually got the afternoon, but better than nothing. 😆… a very sunny but very cold day out there just 3 degrees! But as an added bonus this plane flew past… unbelievably quiet and so low, I sure if I had a better camera I could have...

Ahh it was cold wet and windy out there today, back to the same fields as yesterday, I headed off across to a far flung corner of the field today and left himself in his favourite corner! 😆 xx I found this gorgeous little dress fastener, then this weird thing, it’s 5cm long and super heavy 🤔...

A damp start did not deter us, Himself’s truck is still off the road, so the back up vehicle did duty, which limits our search field, having said that from the track we park on we have the choice of 6 fields to wander round, so not to bad! Xx So what did we find, first off this little...

Yesterday we took some of our finds to the local FLO… it was super exciting and we got some of our previous finds back with ids, will do them in a separate post. But it meant we got an afternoon to play in the fields. chuffed to bits with this first find, I know it doesn’t look much but it’s...

Today dawned bright and sunny, so we headed back to the same fields as yesterday, mainly due to the Limited off road capability of my car! 😆 xx The rape crop has failed in these fields so we have them all winter, we have six fields to choose from, and they are just outside a village and have...
