More Silver for the Searcher

[Silver Searcher]

Hi all....hooked up with Michael my detecting buddie and we headed of to Yorkshire in search of new land Sunday never the best day for knocking :P anyway after a few knock backs we stumbled on a L shaped stubble field at the back of a village we quickly found the land owner who gave us the OK

The field he told us had seen metal detectorists before on a number of occasions, but they hadn't been back this turn of the crop, so worth a shot we thought

The first ob stycal was the ground...frozen to about three inches, so digging at first was tough a broken Tudor clothe hook gave me hope, quickly followed by a small casket key then my first hammered of the day, quite a nice Edward with just a small clip to the left

A couterstamped Cartwheel penny popped out, almost totally blank apart from a small shield, it's also under weight at 23g. Later on in the afternoon I had my second Medieval key almost complete and not far away my second hammered of the day looks like a Charles1, but not 100%, a large half round lead weight was the last find of the day for me, must weigh at least 2lb ..Not to be out done Michael chipped in with two Hammered of his own. a James1, and Charles1. All in all not a bad day for a field that's had a bit of pressure

Always feels nice to stumble onto a nice site Great finds again My post from the other day (3 center, navy cuff) is on city property and open to the public

Thanks ....I feer for metal detecting in the UK, the younger generation of farmers seem not wiling to grant permission to hunt it's always the older guys that give us the go ahead I can see thing getting much worse in years to come

SS

Oh I agree 100% after that hoard was found, now every farmer thinks he has a million pounds sitting in his fields and in turn he will find one of his good friends to do the detecting or even himself

That's part of it, a lot more know there's money to be made..it's either let a couple of detectors go on the land, or let a club, club members usually pay £10 for a days detecting, half going to the farmer, times this by thirty detectorists, and your on a loser going solo

SS

Boy are we starting to feel sorry for you guys.

How do you get land out there does it cost you, or are they willing just to let you on

We just ask and very rarely get turned down. Detecting isn't that big here so most people we approach it's the first time they've been asked. I'm sure most believe there's nothing great to find.... and most stuff we dig probably would be nothing to them.

I'd pack in work if I could go anywere here.

If I detected 7 days a week and sold everything, I could survive, but that's about it. It has helped me with a few dollars at key times so that is cool.

If I detected 7 days/ week and sold half, I'd be rollin on dubs and sippin bubbly at my 50,000 sq ft white mansion
