Title: Detecting wish List 2011 . . . Post by: Neil on January 01, 2011, 10:52:24 AM Every year we have a thread regarding members wish list of Detecting finds for the coming year.
I'll get the ball rolling - this year I would be over the moon to find any of the following: Bronze Age Axe Head, Spear Head or Gouge. Vessica Seal - with ledgible legend. Medieval bronze key. Pilgrims Apulla. Anything Celtic. I may be being a tad optimistic, but you got to have targets in life. ::) Neil Title: Re: Detecting wish List 2011 . . .

Post by: Trys on January 01, 2011, 11:50:14 AM I would like to find this year a bronze age axe head, and also something roman (to be found local to me) as in the 10 years i've been detecting i've only found half a roman brooch around here!
