Title: Christmas gifts for farmers ? Post by: peanut on December 15, 2011, 11:37:20 AM I was wondering what you lot give your favourite Farmers /land owners at Christmas time ...if anything ?
I have a local permission in the village with two farming brothers so I expect I'll probably give them each a bottle of wine . I've only detected there 3-4x times so I think that is a reasonable thank you. What do you do at Christmas time ? Title: Re: Christmas gifts for farmers ?

Only having started detecting since beginning of August, I too have been struggling with what to buy the farmers who have been kind enough to let me detect on their land. The wine and choc's is a brill idea as its for the whole family. Title: Re: Christmas gifts for farmers ?

Post by: ancientpat on December 17, 2011, 02:38:47 PM All my farmers get a bottle of whisky and a box of chocs every year, when you think of the pleasure we get and the finds we get out of their fields I feel it is the least you can do.I don,t have any problems with them letting me go on newly planted fields as they now trust me not to make a mess and I can go on them without having to contact them every time I go.It's a question of you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.
Pat ;) ;) ;) Title: Re: Christmas gifts for farmers ? Post by: peanut on December 24, 2011, 09:27:38 AM well yesterday I took my Farmer Brothers a bottle of wine and a huge box of chocs each and very pleased they were too.
Whilst talking about hoards they showed me on my OS map more fields that i can detect on so thats a result. I also showed them some photos of birds that I had taken on their land and they told me about a buzzard that hangs about one of their barns every day so I should get some good pictures of that soon . ! ;) Title: Re: Christmas gifts for farmers ?
