xp deus metal detector

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...

Today we were off to the races… well the old race course stubble bit! Now this wasn’t a super active race course with only one event a year… but I love the history. We detected here last year with our old machines, but this year it’s still a stubble field so we didn't do as well, however...

Back out into the blazing sun to try the Dirk field today! 😬 journey over I spent praying he wouldn’t find another.. 😂 … and he didn’t, but we had a lovely time, the going was smooth and the digging was easy 😆 xx Let me start you off with my gorgeous buckle! Then a bronze lump was clearly once...

Awoke to another beautiful sunny day! So we headed off to the fields between the river and castle! The ground has now set hard, so ankle breaking and potentially knee dislocation a constant… but undaunted we struggled on 😆 xx First off we have this thing.. am sure it’s not old, but it’s quite...

Bit of a scorcher today… well warmer than it has been is possibly more accurate. So we headed off to the other side of the lane from the chicken farm havent done this field before, but in its favour the Roman Road crosses the bottom side of it, so thought we should give it a tickle. Bit of a...

Another glorious sunny day today, so we headed to the top of a hill just outside the village, the views were stunning, and the field gave us some cracking finds.. no coins, but all the bits I love! xx starting off with this belter of a livery button, then a beautiful buckle, 2 small buckles...

With great excitement we headed off to the fields for our first day of our detecting at home holiday! Lovely sunny day, but surprisingly windy! so this first item, found by myself is a bit of a mess, but…. It does have traces of a gold gilt edge… pic of the inside where you can see the gold...

Back to the fields nearest the castle for this evening, as we have limited time after work.. stubble now disked and drying quickly, which adds a new dimension to recovering finds, the clods are sometimes to hard to break, so I get to bring home “mystery” clods to soak 😆 xx This field had a lot...

Another overcast summers day with many rain showers could not damper my excitement today…. We went back to the same area as yesterday but on the other side of the hedge… my very first signal was a scratchy 72, so I braced for lead… but was blown away when I opened the clod and found my very...

Had a drive round this morning as we couldnt decide where to go.. and spotted a newly disked batch of fields.. 😆.. now these fields are in the same area as the fields i found thd saxon clothes fastener and silver romans.. so no brainer we had to give em a try!! Oh yes.. loads of iron signals...
