Well it has been an amazing week, back to reality tomoz! But 2 Iron Age coins, 3 hammered, countless Romans and a Roman Fly brooch is not a bad result! Would definitely recommend it! Today was very hot 25 degrees so we wandered about in the big field, a little Shield mount, a fancy something...

Another beautiful day in the fields… and proper warm sun shine 😎 We spent a couple of hours in the field on the other side of the hedge in the Stater Zone, but alas no more to be found. We then went to the 3rd field lots of iron signals and lead, but we didn’t find any hot spots.. but the...

Another beautiful day to be out detecting… we went to a grass field in the village for a change… the villages are so pretty this time of year and the sun has dried the fields out now so we can explore without the truck churning the grass up! Lovely bag seal, bit of a buckle, 2 tokens, buttons...

Had a lovely day out in the fields, sun shine and peace at last xx went to a field we have been to before, the plough has dried and flattened out a bit so much nicer to detect on! Himself found this super cool religious pendant… dates from the 1600, I found a broken Roman ring, some cool...

Sorry for the delay in posting! We managed to get out yesterday, beautiful sunshine but a chilly wind! The farmer was out ploughing our racecourse fields, so we went to a previously quiet field… and Had a lovely time! xx First off himself found a marvellous fibula! Then a chunky weird bit...

A chilly foggy start to the day, but as ever we were undeterred 😆 xx I had a cracking morning in the other field, so after a morning digging muskets, himself saw sense and joined me in my field! 😆 xx He went to the area I found the fibula yesterday and found this first item… seems to have a...

Ahh Saturday at last, had some lovely sunny days this week, but the forecast for today was dull with the chance of thunder storms 😳 xx We went back to the Race Course field, I left him to dig muskets and I ventured off into another field, this field has an old well and a Bronze Age Round...

After another busy week, could not wait to get out in the fresh air!!! A lovely sunny day, but cold!! We headed back off to the race course! My first signal was a Roman coin, which is very exciting as its the first from this field… ! xx Day of the loop today tho, i found this first one which...

Another cracking day in the race course field today….himself reckons it’s about 90 acres….the last pic shows you the grass track round the edge. Which is still used as a training gallop by a local racing stable. Got so warm today a Bumble bee joined us in the truck at lunchtime 🥰 xx Tap key...

After a day of chores yesterday was champing at the bit to get out today, it was the perfect Spring day, sunshine and blue skies, so we headed off to a previously undetected field, next to the race course. I spent ages following the lead and iron signals, and was eventually rewarded with my...

Well the weather was awful today, winds of 49mph and showers! So out we went! 😎 Tried a new field today, it’s a beautiful grass field that has the old carriage way from Croxton Park to the castle running thru it. It also has a stream running along the bottom. I found a few coins and a button...

A beautiful spring like day today, so we went back to the fields we were in last week, I wanted to do the banks of the stream, so himself headed off to dig all the pre dec coins! xx This lovely button was in the bank by the stream, then a weight, himself was excited to find a girl guide badge...

After a rain soaked Saturday, we finally got out today. Went to the grass fields near the lynchets (opposite the hill we were on a few weeks ago). It’s a ridge and furrow field and very wet! First off a pretty little buckle, lead role and bullet and 3 buttons…. But… 18 pre dec coins, 3...

A damp and dreary day here, but undaunted we headed back into the mud! Nice little Fibula to start you off, then the bottom bit from another one, gorgeous spur, lead bead, decorative bit, lovely button, then the most complete buttons I think we have ever found (I mean with the loops still on)...

Blimey it was chilly out in the fields today, no frost so back to the slimy mud…still the constant scrapping of the boots and shovel does keep you warm! Well last week I said I’d never found a Silver thimble… so today the field gave me one! Bit squashed but hey! So I’m going to say now, I have...

Ahh the joy of winter digging …. Hard frost over night means digging the signals is a challenge in the morning, but by the afternoon the defrosting mud makes for slippery going and slimy mud everywhere! Not sure what this first one is, it looks like it had 4 prongs off it originally, same for...

A cold morning here, frosty first thing, but as sleet and rain forecast tomoz we felt we had to be brave today! With shooting season in full swing and a lot of our fields flooded we went to the old Courthouse field not much except lead here now, so we went through into the next field which is...

After missing last weekends due to high winds and heavy rain, was itching to get back out today, but Himself’s truck broke down yesterday… so we had to take my wheels, which meant no off roading, so a field with suitable parking had to be located! But we had a lovely day and even saw the sun...

Ahh a dreary damp day here today, but we are out tomoz, so didn’t let the weather put us off! 😆 xx I found this strap fitting, now to my eyes it looks a bit like an animal…. but that may just be wishful thinking? The a little buckle, 2 little tack mounts, a little stud with a B on it, drawer...

A damp misty morning this morning, but when your first signal is a hammered… you remember why you love the mud! 😆 xx But first an unusual triangle buckle.. then a square weight, gorgeous thimble, strap end, book clasp, then a little person (?) some cute buckles, massive lead weight and a musket...

Today we went to the old race course, it’s so beautiful up here even if we don’t find much it’s still one of the best fields to roam about and dream in! A nice trio of Bobbin shot!, a pair of musket balls, a pair of broken crotal bells, belt loop, thimble top and watch winder, buttons, pre...

Well as predicted woke up to rain bucketing down… so waited a couple of hours before heading out, when we got to the field we had planned to do, the Shoot was lined up, so we did an about turn and went back to the fields we have spent many happy hours in! My first offering for you is why I love...

Ahh the joy of detecting on a glorious Autumnal day, much warmer today so we headed off to the village fields, we can’t do these fields on a Saturday as they are shooting the poor pheasants in them 😢 …. they have been planted but Farm Manger says we can still go in them 😆xx Well we had a...

A sunny day here yesterday so we headed out to a new field, as ever our hopes were high, this field is opposite the alleged Roman Villa field, next to the Barn fields where we found loads of coins and tesserae….. but hmm I found one Crusty Roman coin but field was surprisingly quiet? Never mind...

Today started cool and sunny but then the showers started so we didn’t get a full day in, but still nice to be out wandering around with no where else to be. Not sure what this first item is, medical device or more domestic? Not sure it’s about 7cm long. Nice buckles, then 2 more of those loop...
