Since 1990 I have
been metal detecting on a farm of about 350 acres in Suffolk.
Typically like many
other farms, with the farmhouse and barns at the centre with the odd wood
dotted about. Now consisting of 13 separate areas, it was once split in to
approximately 40 different fields as shown on the earliest ordnance survey
maps.
Most of my
detecting time has been here with a few exceptions.
I haven't found
a great deal of coins & artefacts but a few have stood out. On the following
pages see some of my better finds along with the more mundane objects which
have all been lost or hidden in years gone by. Where necessary all items
have been identified and recorded with the appropriate authorities.
Up to 1995 I
used a Silver Sabre Plus and then moved onto a Laser B3, Now in 2005 I've
upgraded to a Minlab Quattro. I'm still getting used to this new machine and
have found some very rewarding finds already.
