Hunting the Cleveland Hills..........

Silver Searcher · Apr 10, 2011

Land is really very difficult to find now $:-\$ I am even starting to look at grass fields. Today I visited a area close to home the Cleveland Hills http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Hills

I tried a couple of farms were I could see newly drilled fields, but got no joy $:-\$ still the scenery was a joy to behold and such a nice day to boot

After what seemed a age I manage to gain permission on a field that had had turnip in, and was surrounded by a spring fed stream.

i detected this field for three hours, but couldn't break the 1700s barrier, a few bits surfaced...lead bale seals, a Huge Harness Buckle and a 20thc Sunderland ferry Token..not bad, didn't get the first coin till I was heading of the field, Vicky farthing then a blank half penny. Near The edge of the fields entrance I finally broke into the 1500, with a Medieval Bronze ring...saved the day :headbang:

This field might be worth another visit, today was very dry and the signals very iffy, The farmer also said I could try his outher fields after the crop comes in, so well worth the trip :icon_thumleft:

The pics are amazing! The Ring also, of course! Nice place to live. Whats about the hill in the picture? Looks like a good place for a hunt in the shadows of the trees....

The hill is out of bounds $:-\$ there are a lot of hill forts in the area, but I did notice a nice drilled field just below it, but couldn't find my way to it :icon_scratch:

Sometimes you just have to drive around, and look for fields that have been drilled...and ask :icon_thumleft:

Very nice ring, and of course beautiful scenery.

Why are the hills out of bounds

looks like an ideal spot for a settlement of some kind!!

that´s too bad

The hill is part of forestry land, and there is a lot of estate land in the area which frown on metal detectorists $:-\$ I cleaned the ring with electrolosis :icon_thumleft:
