Metal Detecting

There is not much land available to detect on, at the moment. Parkland can be awkward, because when the sun shines, it dries out the turf. Pasture can be very time-consuming. The sun can be dangerous and too hot, to metal detect in at times!

I think I'll wait until August, when the crops come out. Hopefully, I will get some photographs on here, of some of the finds.

There is not much happening in the 'detecting world' at the moment.

Iron Age Skeleton and Jewellery Discovered!

An Iron Age skeleton and jewellery have been found, by a metal detectorist, near Portesham in Dorset. There were fourteen items with the skeleton, including a coin, mirror and two brooches. The items were declared treasure at a 'treasure inquest', and were discovered on April 27th. last year; they are believed to date from between 15BC and AD 50-60, and found in a 'Durotrigian type grave'.

More can be read in the Dorset Echo, of today's date.
