  1. Google metal detecting spade. Its a half spade with a plate on top where you put your foot .Its to stop you putting holes in your boots. Better going for the more expensive ones as the steel is stronger, the cheaper one can buckle when on hard ground
  2. Great result. It shows that Metal detecting and Archaeology does work together.
  3. Its a common practice nowerdays , I think it keeps the slug population down. On some soils they can get a black grass build up, then they have to plough
  4. Give me a mid range detector on a rich site than a top of the range detector on an average site , any day of the week
  5. yeh Tesoros were ok i had a spin off - lazer b3
  6. good question, I always say a second hand decent detector is better than a new lower grade one. I will get back to you later as i have been out of touch I used to have a technetics T2 - had some great finds with it. I have a minelab e trac now.
  7. my local tribe are the Cornovii - no coins minted but you get the odd coin from other tribes but they are rare. Try and get into Dorset - Durotriges coins are not uncommon
  8. its this type https://www.silburycoins.co.uk/product/dobunni-silver-unit-cotswold-eagle-50-25bc-2/
  9. Here is a photo as found, lodged in the side of a stone before I touched it. There is something special about being the first person to hold this for 2000 yrs
  10. I personally dont like digging around old trees, I dont want to damage roots, however I do have permission in some woods where the trees are about 40 yrs old. The ground is very stoney which is the key to finding coins and artefact's hundreds of yrs old, as they cant make their way through the ground, unlike most other soil types. See attached my best find from my previous visit to these woods. Its a silver Celtic coin of the Dobunni tribe and is about 2000 yrs old
  11. Oh ok I will check it out - thanks
  12. I have not noticed one before but maybe I have over looked them in the past. I was surveying trees today so obviously I give it some attention.
  13. Buckeye surely? What do you think
  14. A facebook friend had a mini tornado in Gloucestershire
  15. Is anyone here mad enough to climb in this weather?
  16. I think the simple question to the insurance company would be can you guarantee there will be no damage from soil heave in the future. if the answer is no - bin it
  17. Superstructure repair works - that vague. Has it been underpinned below the the level of soil dessication.
  18. I can see why you took the top off with that decay at the base
