A River Runs Through It

[Silver Searcher]

Decided to hit the road this afternoon to try and find somewere to search it's last Chance saloon now as I headed for the Motorway extentions on the Roman Road Dere Street
After driving up and down checking the places I searched last year, it was becoming apparent that there was nothing to do, although they are only halfway through the 15 mile stretch So I headed to the site were I found the Gold Stirrup Ring, I new the fields were all under crop, but There is a River That Runs Through it and the water levels are quite low
Well if you are expecting some Old finds forget it it was bloody hard work, but what a great place to spend a few hours detecting
Only modern finds I'm afraid, fishing weights, modern coinage and a lot of trash but a great time by a lovely place which given time and a bit more research into River detecting just might come up trumps with a nice find

I know were they crossed on Dere Street, and it's easily detectable

SS

Get yer wellies on!


I bet there's a crossing near me somewhere

I'm gunna do it one evening, when the crowds die down, as it's quite a busy place

SS

Yeah, it's bad enough on land, people will wonder what your doing in the water

Great post SS, really nice pics . Shame the finds didn't match the scenery. The only rivers we have round here are tidal creeks with soft deep mud the consistancy of poo . The only other place at the mo' is the beach, so if I don't get any fields soon I'll have find out which bits are Crown Estates and head off down there.
