Exploring a new part of a permission. I’d previously been up on this downland, not actually detecting but looking for some missing clips from horse jumps. The number of non-ferrous signals meant I had to come back one day with a spade 😀 Detector used: XP Deus Full on v.5.21,…
Despite COVID-19 and Pandemic Lockdowns I managed to get out metal detecting and find a few things worth looking out for a second time 🙂, so here’s my best finds of 2020… Detectors used: XP Deus Full on v.5.21, 9″ HF coil & 11″ standard coil https://regton.com/ Nokta Makro Simplex+…

As we were nearby and it was a sunny day, Fluff and I decided to have a wander around Knowlton Church and Henge, two structures that are separated by more than 4000 years of history. The henge and surrounding landscape are Bronze Age/Iron Age whereas the church is 12th century…
