Title: Re: mole hills Post by: ysbytymike on November 17, 2011, 09:43:21 AM Yep, I'm with you on this one.
I imagine that mole working away and thinking " these pesky silver and gold things keep getting in my way" and pushing them up and out. :D :D Title: Re: mole hills Post by: nfl on November 17, 2011, 11:07:05 AM moles are freinds ;D,ive had glass beads and coinage out of the mole hills,nothing to get to excited about,,,,but maybe 1 day ;D

Title: Re: mole hills Post by: IFINDNOTHING on November 17, 2011, 12:57:27 PM I thought it was just me too, next time try the cow pats!! No end of good signals under them.
Title: Re: mole hills Post by: nfl on November 17, 2011, 01:40:35 PM i found this as well,for some reason cow pats do cover some good signals ??? maybe the cows butt acts like a magnet and it drops a load when it gets a signal ??? ??? ;D,,,,,,,whats next,,a moolab metal detecter ;D
Title: Re: mole hills Post by: romano-brit on November 17, 2011, 01:51:05 PM had loads of roman pottery and coins from mole hills, plus they only go good soil, so it shows that its been used before for planting etc
Title: Re: mole hills Post by: Val Beechey on November 17, 2011, 03:21:14 PM You've just made me realise why the Moles like one particular part of my field. The previous owner kept chickens there. Manure = Worms = Moles.
And yes I scan over Mole hills and Badger set entrances. Same thinking, they might have done some good work. No luck yet though, but live in hope. Val Title: Re: mole hills Post by: handyman [Alan} on November 17, 2011, 03:25:11 PM i always scan molehills, -- have recovered several bits of roman pot and a couple of coins from their little humps!.
i once had a lucilla sestertius from the entrance to a badger sett ! however i did have a slight advantage as the fields were a known roman site and had been well done by the arkies. Title: Re: mole hills Post by: Kev on November 17, 2011, 03:45:46 PM deadlock, i have put this subject on here before as i found a vicky gothic florin in one about 2 years ago ,and i always go over the mole hills. ;)
Title: Re: mole hills Post by: Findmetoo on November 17, 2011, 04:56:09 PM Enjoyed reading all the replies Ha ! Do you all also say "Good morning Mr Magpie, How's the misses and spit" Unlucky if you don't .........!

Val Title: Re: mole hills Post by: avalon on November 17, 2011, 06:44:50 PM I've found a nice English jetton and two hammered coins in mole hills, but it was on a D.M.V, so worth searching, as those little critters go very deep.
It might be worth training up a few moles to sniff out the odd Gold Torc, but it wouldn't be long before a law was passed banning the use of wildlife in this way. ;D Title: Re: mole hills Post by: topcat on November 17, 2011, 07:49:20 PM a few years ago i was at a weekend rally in Berkshire run by Mick from Leisure promotions and we were on a token hunt in a huge area when i got a signal from some sheep droppings i moved them and underneath was a token in a plastic bag, at the end of the rally when we had the draw much to my surprise m :Dy sheep sh## token won me £1000 so check every signal
