xp deus metal detector

Managed to get 3 days detecting in over the weekend… weather was unsettled to say the least… sun, rain, hail, sun and gale force Winds! 😳 Here are the results, first off a buckle plate depicting 3 people, 2 fibula brooches, dress hook, fibula pin, a tack mount/brooch, part of a bracelet I...

After an early frost, the sun came out and we had another perfect day in the fields! Himself’s truck is off the road so we had to find a field with suitable parking for his normal car 😏… Found a lovely spindle whorl, a hinged thingy, bout an inch long when folded… decorated lead, bits of...

What a gorgeous day ..sun shine, rainbows and my first Saxon Sceat 🤩. The fields are still water logged so we got another day in the fields outside the village! Himself headed to another field in search of his Romans, and was rewarded with a fibula!, little buckle, tack mount, couple of bits...

Another gorgeous day still very wet under foot!! Sticky mud adds to the excitement when trying to work out what uve found 😆 xx Battered thimble, tack pin, bobbin shot nd little musket ball, bits of buckles, worked flint, bits of piot, buttons.. and amazingly i found another 2 hammereds!! 😎...

Saturday was the most perfect day to be out in the fields, blue sky warm sun .. oh the joy! Sunday not so much heavy rain, freezing wind! But the wet fields mean they haven’t been planted… so happy to trudge thru the mud 😆 While Himself chose to stay in the field I found my gold stater, I went...

Blimey we have been kept indoors since the new year by lashings of rain every weekend 🥹 the wettest January ever! But today a break in the clouds so we literally dashed out the door.. and what a lovely time we (I) had 😆 First off a big A (it’s 4cm high) no idea on that one! Then a broken...

What better way to start the New Year than in a muddy field digging history 😄 xx We obviously went back to the same field as yesterday looking for that shiny coin Robert eyeballed, alas no coin! So we wandered across the field, following the pottery… lots of Grey ware and iron signals! Then...

It was a clear and frosty morning today, the kind of day meant for metal detecting! Went back to the same fields as yesterday.. and they didn’t disappoint! Himself found 8 Roman coins so was suitably smug…. Bless him, wasn’t having that so blew the smile off his chops with another gorgeous...

Delighted to be back out in the fields today, frosty start and a bit cloudy, but we had a lovely morning back in the barn field. Himself went in search of his pesky Romans, so I followed my feet and stayed up on the top edge. Needless to say he found a scrappy Roman… and I found a lovely...

Ahhh the joy of having too many fields to detect is back! Today we headed back to our original fields that we both love 😎 xx Himself spent the day circling the Roman patch and consequently found very little 😏… me being the intrepid one, headed off to a little detected patch, that’s been...

Yesterday was wet and stormy, so no detecting… but today sun and showers, we got soaked as more showers than sun, but the Barn field has been harvested, so there was no stopping us! Not sure what this first item is 🤔 I don’t think it’s a tap key tho, nice buckle, spindle whorl, half a crotal...

Well after a couple of weeks of busy ness .. we finally got back out into the fields! Gosh I missed it! This year some of the fields have been planted with grass … which is great as these are wet heavy fields to dertect in normally.. plus it gives as more grass in the off season 😎 xx Let me...

Well another glorious day, so off we went to the fields xx we have been in these fields before, but they had pesky electric fence so meant we couldn’t do the edges, but lucky for us, the estate is investing in new fences so the cows are out, and we were in 😆 Not sure on this first item, but...

A gorgeous day here today, so we channeled our inner explorer and headed to another new field 😅 xx The view was cracking, but a very quiet field! Himself was very chuffed with his bomb tail!! Couple of bits of plate, bit of a buckle, loops, spoon handles, thimble, buttons, toasted coins, and a...

After a week of sunshine, cooler and overcast for our trip to the fields today, Back onto the grass fields now, so tried a new area, a lovely valley with a stream in the bottom running between two villages, not many signals but it’s a beautiful place tucked away from everything! Lovely...

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...

Today was an belter of a day weather wise, blue sky and warm sunshine, absolutely stunning seeing all the greens coming on the hedges and trees 😍 xx First off I found this ring, definitely a man’s, then an old spoon, lead weight, ammo.. unusual button, then the standard buttons, 3 crusty pre...

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...

More rain overnight … so back into the mud we went! xx 😅 First off a selection of buckles… a little lead weight and lead token, a teeny tiny bit front and back 🤔 then the buttons… got some pretty ones today! Some kind of bullet, a trade token couple of Pre dec coins, and another slick Willy...

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...
