Hunting the Cleveland Hills..........

[Silver Searcher]

Land is really very difficult to find now I am even starting to look at grass fields. Today I visited a area close to home the Cleveland Hills http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Hills

I tried a couple of farms were I could see newly drilled fields, but got no joy still the scenery was a joy to behold and such a nice day to boot After what seemed a age I manage to gain permission on a field that had had turnip in, and was surrounded by a spring fed stream.

i detected this field for three hours, but couldn't break the 1700s barrier, a few bits surfaced...lead bale seals, a Huge Harness Buckle and a 20thc Sunderland ferry Token..not bad, didn't get the first coin till I was heading of the field, Vicky farthing then a blank half penny. Near The edge of the fields entrance I finally broke into the 1500, with a Medieval Bronze ring...saved the day

This field might be worth another visit, today was very dry and the signals very iffy, The farmer also said I could try his outher fields after the crop comes in, so well worth the trip

The pics are amazing! The Ring also, of course! Nice place to live. Whats about the hill in the picture? Looks like a good place for a hunt in the shadows of the trees....

The hill is out of bounds there are a lot of hill forts in the area, but I did notice a nice drilled field just below it, but couldn't find my way to it

Sometimes you just have to drive around, and look for fields that have been drilled...and ask

Very nice ring, and of course beautiful scenery.

Why are the hills out of bounds looks like an ideal spot for a settlement of some kind!! that´s too bad

how did you clean the ring so well, it looks amazing!

Congratulations

The hill is part of forestry land, and there is a lot of estate land in the area which frown on metal detectorists I cleaned the ring with electrolosis
