I bought a metal detector some time ago and we decided that this weekend (with the fine weather and the Bank Holiday) would be a good time to give it a whirl around the top field.
It didn’t take long to find stuff, but it wasn’t exactly treasure. In fact, there appears to be a lot of bit of ferous material in the field, so we turned the sensitivity down and only search for non-ferous metal. No coins or gold, just half a spoon and an old trolley wheel! But I can see how people get addicted to this as a hobby.
Garrett EuroAce Metal Detector. It discriminates between ferous and non-ferous metails. Shame it doesn’t discriminate between treasure and rubbish!
Half a spoon, a belt buckle and a trolley wheel. Not exactly treasure!
