xp deus metal detector

So today was Himself’s birthday… so what better way to spend the evening, but doing what we love the most! 😆 xx Another gorgeous livery button … think initials are MR… which could be Manners, Rutland. A pin type thing, 2 bits with patterns, the one on the left has the same little catch/hinge...

Decided to buck the system and head out for a Monday night swing for a change!! Left the muddy swamp field to dry out and went to a neighbouring field of stubble…! xx Ahh which to post first… mine or his… ok will do his as its “silver” (not hallmarked) ..and mine is lead 😂..! xx A stunning ARP...

…. Or not! After the torrential rain from dawn to yesterday, we made a decision I very soon regretted…. Into the disked field we went… within seconds our boots and shovels were caked in heavy wet sticky… did I say heavy… clay 😳 xx oh my days, I thought I was going to loose a leg… (after a bad...

more rain is forecast tomorrow, so we decided to get a quick one in tonight, we went back to the same field as last night, and yay the tractor was chopping the stubble, so where he lead… we followed 😂 xx I found this beautiful livery button! Lots of rough lead every where, but saved this roll...

At last the Fields are being harvested so we headed off into the stubble. We spent lots of time in this field last year with the garrets, so the challenge was on… 1 detecting in stubble… not my favourite terrain…. 2 what can the Deus find and 3 it looks like rain… but it looks like rain every...

Managed to get out yesterday after work for a couple of hours between the showers, so went to the field above our best field, as now been harvested… what a difference a hedge makes 😆 … very little in this one, so can cross it off the list! Xx I found this gorgeous buckle, then some bits of...

So ahead of a none detecting weekend, we had to head our, we went to the field where Himself found the Bronze Age Dirk last year as it had just been harvested! had a quick scout round and found a few bits, but really need much longer doing it properly! 😆 First off a cute toy gun, how cute is...

beautiful evening yesterday so off we went…. They have started the harvest.. yay.. this means we will soon be able to take our Deus to the fields we did last year with our old kit to see what other treasure we missed! 😆 xx in the meantime this field keeps on giving…. We first came here 2nd...

No detecting yesterday as the rain did not let up all day 🙄……! So today we were as keen as mustard to get out! now todays finds have lots of details… so go slow! 😂 xx First off a rather gorgeous complete button! then a little metal weight (?) next something tiny and strange.. will let you...

There was a break in the rain so we managed to get a quickie in this evening, forecast for the weekend is heavy showers and thunder🙄 xx so what did we find… several I have no idea, including this first one… it almost looks like it has a profile of a man on one side and a women on the other (...

Well the dodgy weather continues here in the uk, sunshine / torrential rain… it’s a nightmare when planning your detecting outfit let me tell you! What is also a nightmare is letting himself choose which patch of field to do…😬 we went to the opposite corner an his say so and I literally found...

Once again we headed off in bright sunshine, and once again the heavens opened treating us to bursts of thunder and torrential rain! At this rate I may see if Himself can weld an umbrella to my Deus elbow cuff 😬 xx But to todays finds… well we explored different areas of the massive field...

Today dawned bright and sunny, but rain and thunder forecast…. So we decided to head to the field and see if we could get a few hours in… couple of heavy rain/hail showers but then the wind picked up… 40 mph 😳 ….! But we are seasoned professionals now… so we popped our headphones on and off we...

Well the weather is certainly giving us grief, beautiful sunshine.. then sudden heavy showers!! The joy of english summer 😆 xx A gorgeous 1573 Lizzy hammered for me! 😳 wow!! Couple of lead weights, musket ball, monster cow ear tag! Little fastener and small square piece, a bent pre dec...

A case of eat, sleep and repeat …. but we went to the other side of the buildings to see what we could find! Super interesting… was our conclusion! a nice little weight, a crotal bell, spindle whorl and another weight, some lead shapes! 3 tacks, 2 round 1 oval, a engraved button. GR…. I haven’t...

After waking Up to a perfect summer day, by the time we got to the field, the rain, thunder and lightning had caught up with us… so we had a few breaks due to the heavy showers, but managed to gather some treasure! A first for me from this field… a little Roman that I could actually clean for...

back we went to the current favourite field, this time I left Himself to dig the Roman coins, and I headed off to search another area, he found 4 coins, which he has kept to try and identify, but all of them are the crusty type, no silver yet. was delighted when I dug this little spoon (?) ...

Obviously we had to go back to Sundays field, so have included a picture showing… Red blob… site of Roman Villa, Green blob where we have found the Roman coins… and circled in blue where the farm buildings were and are now. A gorgeous tiny bell… 3 buttons, and 5 Roman Coins! The other bits…...

My goodness what a day we have had, new field…, new level of finds ! first off himself found this amazing little bust, I see a head shoulders with hair on the back… 😍 then this lead “bobbin” it weighs 218g, a gorgeous little “fish” brooch, a livery button with initials on it, part of a fibula...

What a difference a week makes, last weekend blazing hot, today overcast with a blustery wind… much nicer for digging, well I say digging it was mostly walking…. just over 11,500 steps 😅 xx We went back to the same area as we did in the week, but tried the other side of the road, what a...
