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!

Bomb found on Folkestone beach (plus finds)
An old world war 2 mortar shell apparently?
Ironic that I was the one with the metal detector, and didn't find it! Ha! Got kicked off the beach in the end, which was bad because it was producing goodies. I was only there for about twenty minutes.
But, I got to go down the other beach, and the sun decided to come out. Great day!

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.

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