Back to the wicked stubble

[robfinds]

Well still no ploughed land, so back to the wicked stubble. Could only last 2 hours, found 3 roman grots and 1 georgian disc. Must be some ploughed land soon

I would gladly trade you the 90F temperatures and sweaty tick filled woods for the chance to hunt on a "nasty stubble field" for a single Roman coin. You folks have it made, and don't even realize it. I have worse problems at times with the winter wheat here--the stubble is so tightly packed that you can't get closer than six inches above the ground with the search coil. At least the rape stubble is more spread apart. Oh, and I deal with the corn stubble here every year, and that seems like worse conditions. They leave the leaves and tops and they tangle up or are pushed down at 45 degree angles. Your photo doesn't look that bad, actually. Such conditions are awful for trying to be thorough, but at least it is huntable.


Good work on the Romans and the unknown copper.



Best Wishes,



Buckles

Buckles summed it up well. Id gladly hunt that field, or any over there to be honest. The vast gulf of time you have open for finds dwarfs this entire continent. Wanna do a house swap for a few weeks?

Man, that is seriously one evil looking field. Reminds me of a scene in that John Wayne movie, The Green Berets. Evil. When can I stop by?

Rape seed stubble is like detecting in Bamboo, usually cut of at the hight that stick right up the a$$

Whatever you do, don't slip in the mud.

Yes your probably correct, we are a little spoilt this side of the pond detecting wise. Having said that though, I would like the odd day at 90F.

It's got to be one of lifes greatest ironies, that the country that produces the most metal detectors ,as probably the least to find age wise. An house swop may be a good idea, bring a paint roller, the wife is nagging me like mad to paint downstairs.

Joking apart, one of those stems in an eye would be serious.
