xp deus metal detector

After torrential rain over night, we had a late start today, but the weather improved nicely for us. Not sure what this first item is, but he found it and I love it xx then I found my first livery button in ages, serpent (?) a little ring nd another corset stay hole, 2 small musket balls, 2...

The fields are really beginning to die back now, (they have been sprayed) so can feel our time in these fields is coming to an end 😒… x So what did we find today, first off a strange little piece, there is some kind of gold stuff on it, u maybe able to see it on the top of the right hand sticky...

A very damp and misty day today, but needed our fix, so off we went. First off a strange little piece, then half a silver cuff link piece of a tack mount, 2 balls, another key, not as pretty as yesterdays, 3 pieces of bell metal plate, strange pointy chunky bit, pot leg, old pen knife, buttons...

Ahh what a week, I still can’t believe I found a gold coin! 😅… was actually a bit nervous going out today! But it was a gorgeous day, actually quite warm, we went back to the same 2 fields, no gold but lots of great bits, and I found a hammered so continued my streak! Lovely little casket...

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...

Ahh the trials of this sport! Himself‘s truck is stuck in the garage being repaired, so the back up vehicle (my car) was called into service, ut this means no exciting trips off road to hidden fields, so we went back to the fields the crop failed in. We have spent many days in these fields, so...

Today dawned bright and sunny, so after yesterday’s poor effort, himself wanted to go back to the same fields and do better 🙄 xx And he did, bless him, he found this dress fastener (?) my best find was this intricate little button! Then a plain buckle, our first pipe and stem from this area, 2...

Yesterday we had torrential rain here all day, so expectations weren’t high for getting out today, but we gave it a go! Shooting season here so finding a field on Saturday is more tricky, but the sheep have been taken off the Barn field, so we thought we would try there, we spent a lot of time...

So today after a week indoors, we were finally able to head out into the sunshine, well after clearing the frost from the truck! xx So it was off to our old favourite the pond field, I think we spent most of January in these fields.. 😆 we just love them and they did not disappoint me. I got a...

A little Friday night treat for you, today we had a day off and snuck back up to the race course! I just love this field! We won’t be detecting this weekend as we are hosting the Basset Paw-Ty.. so busy prepping tomoz for the show on Sunday! 😆 Let me start you off with this tiny but pretty...

As we only had one detecting day this weekend we decided to go back to the race course field, this field is 42 HA so plenty of room to roam! what can I say… musket balls .. we found 23 today, and 7 bobbin shot, then some splattered balls nd other ammo, lead disk with a stalk on the back, tack...

Today was a bit wild so obviously decided to go to our most open field on top of the hill…. 🙄 buffeted by the wind and rain we still had a great time. This field is the middle area of the old race course and I just love it up here. We have detected in here before but never found the...

Today was a beautiful sunny day, himself decided he wanted to go back to the same fields… the crop has failed so wanted to take advantage of the extra time. First off a tiny Roman Fibula brooch, it is just half an inch big! Then a couple of nice buckles, then a curved patterned piece, then a...

Ahh the best laid plans… so we didn’t get to go to the Roman field, nor did we get a full day… so we went back to yesterdays field and got a few more bits! Now the long wait till next weekend 🫤 xx A spindle whorl, chunky lead weight, pot leg, more bell metal plate bits and the end of a spoon...

Another gorgeous day here.. little misty first thing, but then the sun came out, and we were off… back the the same fields as last week… as these are some of the few fields that don’t have the weekend pheasant shooters roaming around in! 🙄 xx Now grab a brew and get comfy as we got so many...

Another gorgeous day dawns bright and sunny…. 😎 so off we head to the fields, the recently planted seed is beginning to sprouts so our days are numbered here. So many fields we still need to get in, but for now, we are loving these. Let me start you off with a simple but gorgeous little...

Well the heatwave continued so it was hot and sweaty in the fields of England today 😅xx But your intrepid team put the coil to the soil and had another perfect day xx Himself plucked this beauty no idea but looks to have a bust and writing on it which I need to study to see if I can work out...

So after a long hot 4 days of being chained to my desk, we decided it was necessary to get a quick swing in! I wish I could do justice to the sights and smells last night, the temps had dropped and the tractors were working 2 fields over and it was simply perfect, by the time we got back to the...

Ahhh it’s been a long week, but we got back out to play today, and had the best time! 😆 Got to the field, and the tractors were working in it.. so perfect timing! xx I found this little Seal Matrix.. got a strong little signal but the tractor was bearing down on me… so I had to walk away, but...

So today was bitter sweet, knowing we are back to work tomorrow, But the weather has been kind and we have loved every minute! xx A pretty little silver button, then an oddity, I see a face only a mother could love… 😆. 2 little rings, buckle and what I think is part of a spur, little strap...

… and we are back in the game! Went off to a new field today, this one is the other side of the hedge from our best fields near the pond! I know you all love the shiney coins, but for me it’s the bits… and what a stunner I found… this gorgeous complete buckle… could of happily given up for the...
