Our Northern Territories...

[CRUSADER]

This was a fairly long drive for us into the next County to show our last seasons finds to one of our newest land-owners (only started last year). They both have a keen interest in history which always helps when showing & sharing out the finds/coins. They also wanted some IDs on the coins that their resident detectorist had found over the years.
After our show & tell we tried a short hunt in the nearest horse paddocks. Their son with his detector joined us & we shared a few tips.

We then moved to a large Winter Wheat field & started what I call loose gridding; gridding a large area but missing a couple of runs every turn. So as to cover more ground & sniff out any hotspots.
We didn't get into any older hotspots but we finished with a fair amount of finds;

(Picture 1 is Dads previous solo hunt on local fields; 17th C Token, & a fake Shilling, plus bits...)

PS. Message to Land-Mag - The map still needs the consent signing off, so she will chase soon. Therefore, it's still not ready for collection.

Even your northern lands have terrible soil?? It looks like you dig on the same kind of conditions, lots of fertilizer?
I really feel a little bad that you don't have good soil conditions, because your hunt would be unveliable...
Well it's a really fun hunt any way, silver and all the rest!
Congratulations, still jealous any how hahaha

Looks like a good start. Romans not far away. I notice many buckles and a lot of buttons. Must been really close to the farm? Anyways, new land is welcome at all times!

All our ploughed land is the same where ever we go. Chemicals.

It's less than a mile from a large historical Villiage/town & the field was on a cross-roads.
