Title: Grass is always greener Post by: david995 on December 21, 2014, 04:44:54 PM Ever since i have been metal detecting i drive every day past an estate with all its park land, a 12 century castle, a franciscan monestery, a deserted medieval village are all in the grounds i ve looked at it just wishing and wishing i could go on that land
I have after 6 months of trying i got permission to detect it , spent two sessions so far and found hardly a thing a couple of thimbles, modern coinage and of course scrap. i cant believe it i was so sure it would be loaded i have not given up yet of course but grass is always greener comes to mind Title: Re: Grass is always greener Post by: JohnF on December 21, 2014, 07:26:55 PM If its estate parkland, then it may not have ever seen a plough, if so the majority of the finds may be out of reach.
Keep at it, theres bound to be something decent within range of your detector. Title: Re: Grass is always greener Post by: nonker10 on December 21, 2014, 09:59:17 PM iv,e been on two supposedly mdv's ploughed throughout the centuries and only found two hammered coins on one of them?
