A great meeting for our metal detecting club, with lots of new members!

Featured in this video is a Gold stater, LOTS of Roman coins, old rings, lots and lots of other coins, a bronze age axe head, cannonballs, medieval objects such as spoon figures and buckles, Roman Brooches, some amazing buttons, and lots, lots more!

Oh, and the sound of my heartbreaking as the FLO tells me my Roman sea serpent is actually a bit of waste, ha ha!

Where's the path? - Great resource!

Here is another great resource, called 'Where's the path?'.

Basically, you have a split screen. The one on the left is a map (out of copyright maps that go back to the thirties!) and the screen on the right is a sattelite view on google maps.  Enter your location or postcode into the top left of the screen...

As you scroll around on either map, it does the same on the other. This is very handy, as you can study any unusual quirks in either the map or the satellite view in real time.

Of course, you can zoom in to take a better look, and everything is marked as it should be.

All in all, a brilliant resource for detectorists!

Where's the Path?

Alongside Where's the Path, I also use Old-maps.co.uk.  Another brilliant resource!

Old-maps.co.uk is a great resource!

You can 'go back in time' and find things otherwise missed by google earth. Also, try this site as well. It's called 'Where's the path? And is another brilliant resource for metal detectorists.

I try and use both of these alongside each other when I'm doing my research.

Old maps.co.uk



Also check out "Where's the Path?"  Another great resource!
