Preparing for a US Visitor...

[CRUSADER]

This weekend a US friend of my Dad is visiting & he wants to try detecting again. Problem is that last visit he tried for the first time & got a good Roman coin at the end of a 30 minute hunt (that was all the time he had spare). So his expectations maybe high & we have no good fields to do at the moment. Therefore, today we tried to track down an area worth hunting.
Started on a massive Barley stubble field which had a Roman Road running across it but could only find bits & pieces (best find a Medieval cauldron foot).
So went to a field which was a bit roughly raked but was one of the first Roman Sites we discovered 10 years ago. Problem is we have sucked off every nail & signal going, I was lucky to get our only scrappy coin this month!
So we are still unsure where to go

we are so close I can taste it but we have a huge problem this year. Every good field is Wheat & it will all come up at the same time :P

Haven't phoned him yet! The Barley around here hasn't been cut, but I'm going to give him a call tomorrow after seeing Daryl's coins this evening

Certainly you can try an old University or park.

Well if all else fails, you may want to try this to please the visitor. Go to one of your already hunted sites and bury a few pieces that you would have no problem parting with. Your guest can hunt and will find something that will make his trip a memorable one.

I'd love to dig tot lots in the UK. In all metal.

Cann't imagine Cru doing the tot lots.

Cann't imagine Cru doing the tot lots.

I'm finding it even harder to imagine, although I did start my career as a kid doing the odd one...
