New Fields

[shaun7]

Today I found out that my local farmer owns a lot of land in an area I've been itching to do

Not too much in the way of good finds, but it is a huge area with three large fields and I didn't find where I started to
grid until the last hour!

I think I may have found my first local Roman coins
Also got an RAF cap badge, some blank Georgians and a complete book clasp!

 

[allen]

Yeah, a fiver The land he has goes for miles, he's been holding out on me I found out from one of his workers where
these fields are. Do you remember my old friends house..the one with the cat in the chimney, it's right there!

Start the detailed study of the aerials/old maps. narrow search if you can, it has good potential

As Shuan7's spokesperson for the day. RFC was pre-1918, before it was formed into the RAF.

Hey Shaun,

Some hard to beat finds, in my book.
May I ask...What do you mean ..."my local farmer?" Is he a friend, relative, or merely a kind soul that allows you to hunt his place? Or, what kind of a deal have you worked out with him? None of my business, just curious about the arrangements that need to be made to detect in your world.
Here, for example, back in my school days, with no land of my own, we would bale hay or shell corn for a farmer and he would let us pheasant hunt come fall. Total barter system kind of thing.
Still, today, I would work for a place to detect. Usually though, just a nice conversation and a simple asking will do the trick.

Best of luck,
BW

By "local farmer"I mean the one who farms all the fields around my village. I asked permission about a year ago and he said yes!
Only thing is he charges me £5 per day, which I don't mind, but I've never really found anything on his fields

This is the first time I have found anything older than Georgian on his land, but it is a bit further away!
