Think you are wrong there, the fishermen leave larger holes when bait digging as do the kids when making channels.

All you metal detectors-- why not get on to the company putting the elecy cable across wirral to see if you can get permission to detect along the path of it before the land is handed back to farmers and topsoil replaced. They have dug up the soil and may have brought things closer to the surface.

Very interesting read Derek, thanks for sharing.

Good idea fish, but with the health and safety going round, I highly doubt we would get permission. I know they have already dug through a Victorian tip site, unearthing the old bottles ect... another hobby of mine is collecting and digging these bottles, but I doubt I would get permission to even walk along their spoil piles looking for bottles frown

But saying that, theres no harm in asking is there smile

Another huge find. It's all out there !


Thousands of ancient coins discovered in Buckinghamshire field

Metal detector enthusiasts in Buckinghamshire have uncovered what is thought to be one of biggest hoards of ancient coins ever found in Britain.

Paul Coleman from the Weekend Wanderers Detecting Club discovered more than 5,000 coins buried inside a lead bucket two feet under a field near Aylesbury.

The hoard contains specimens dating back to the 11th Century - the late Anglo Saxon, early Norman period..........more on link

Trying to make myself a sand scoop , not prepared to pay the prices asked for real thing. Have just been messing around on the old beach by me and can see how useful one is. Also think next thing I need to get is a probe. What do you think Xplore?

Sand scoops are very expensive. I've always just used a shovel as im rarely at the beach. I've got a garrett pro pointer and im lost without it, very handy probe, on the expensive side but well worth it in the long run.
