DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 September 2012 Posted 1 September 2012 It is some years since I gave done this, but have decided to start again, as it was good fun. Anyone got a detector they recommend? Also, what type of finds have you come up with?
purpleronnie Posted 1 September 2012 Posted 1 September 2012 Its something I've always wanted to try I'm surrounded by fields too......I assume you need permisson from the owner of the land though. Just realised this has nothing to do with your thread.

Just realised this has nothing to do with your thread. It's very unusual for a farmer to refuse permission, and fields usually throw up something of interest.

sphericalfox Posted 1 September 2012 Posted 1 September 2012 My mate has a field you can have a bash at
Collymore Posted 2 September 2012 Posted 2 September 2012 I too have always wanted to do this but been have been out off by the fact that you'd look like an absolute ****. I'm not even that self conscious, but there's something about it that is weird! Bit like those trainspotters at the end of the platform! I would do it today if I could guarantee no one would see me and I didn't see my reflection. Also how would the landowner know you had found anything. You're hardly goin to go knocking at their door and say "cheque will be in the post"
Mack Posted 2 September 2012 Posted 2 September 2012 They've all thrown it in and become lorry spotters......
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 2 September 2012 Posted 2 September 2012 Isn't this what most paedophile's do?
Rincewind Posted 2 September 2012 Posted 2 September 2012 Never been attracted to metal detectors. Guess I'm not made of the right stuff.

They are up there with philatelists and ornithologists in my 'strange but harmless' league.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 3 September 2012 Author Posted 3 September 2012 Why the capital letters ? Because I thought someone would ask.
cambridgefox Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 They've all thrown it in and become lorry spotters...... Poor bloke,looking like Chris Moyles!
cambridgefox Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 My mum has got just short of an acre of garden and bought my kids a second hand detector,had about 4 roman coins,but they haven't been anywhere else.
JonnyBoy Posted 4 September 2012 Posted 4 September 2012 those blokes who found a pile of old coins sold them for millions, tempting but i don't have any ankle bashing bage trousers with a knitted cardigan accompanied with gravy stains
Guest Posted 5 July 2013 Posted 5 July 2013 Never realised we had enough metal detection threads to warrant this niche spamming. Live and learn.
Rincewind Posted 5 July 2013 Posted 5 July 2013 Someone claimed they found Richard III but this was in York after the find in Leicester and the alluvium legs has cast doubt on the validity of the claim.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 5 July 2013 Author Posted 5 July 2013 I sleep with my metal detector! Kinky or what?
Uncle Phil Posted 5 July 2013 Posted 5 July 2013 Some nob with a metal detector keeps digging up the lawns at work. (A country estate with lawns that I maintain excellently, I might add)He's getting away with it so far, but I'll catch him and when I do I'll smash the thing over his bloody head!

Don't blame you, that is disgusting.
