I must say this new estate of mine is working out quite well,, 54 fields and 4 hammereds and today's bits out of 1 field so far

Nice :)

Part of me thinks about asking at farms where my ancestors were ag labs which would basically cover from Pontrilas to Eaton Bishop (and across to King's Caple) - but I imagine just having ancestors who were there won't cut it / I bet everyone else has asked got permissions there ! The most adventurous one died in Weobley....

Keep digging!

Hey Roland I've originally from Syston ( go on the foxes) Leicestershire next to the fosseway I would love to obtain land through my ancestors 1 was sir Richard ratcliffe that died at the battle of Bosworth in Leicestershire) and was close to Richard 3rd but I don't think it works that way😁😁as for Weobley I might have found some of your ancestors coinage 😁,,,, even though I don't need any more land got given 4 more large fields in the middle of a village today,, and now I thinking that's enough please, christ I'm 51 In March life ain't that long 🤔😁

                    Jeez, you young wipper snapper; I'm 75 and still looking forward to quite a few more years yet. Unfortunately this virus keeps spoiling me plans!  :(

Wowee this on one field. You’re going to find some nice gold before you finish the 54th. Lovely finds. I’m yet to find a hammered and won’t find one if I don’t get on a permission or rally.

[/quote].                            Yep hopefully so have  I 😁 but I think now there's no more door knocking for me as well as these 54 fields I've also got another 300 in fact there is a part of Herefordshire where I can walk for miles go past 3 villages without stepping foot off my perms only to cross roads(, I know I've tried it😁) so defo nope I don't need anymore.

Has Hedgehog given up on some of his land then? :)

Looking through my ancestors - if one of the links is correct, then I'm a descendant of Robert the Bruce (and then also Aethelred and Alfred, etc - like most of us probably!) - bit too far off to claim I can tramp over some say Scottish fields or the fields of Wessex :D

I still need to get some new permissions, at least somewhere where there is something - managed 3p and some lead on my last outing - but I'm trying tired fields to see if new settings are making a difference......the 3p hadn't been dropped too long......

Hi Roland I don't think hedgehog cornered the market on anything round here I've met hedgehog once and seem as there's 6 tectorists in this village I know of and God knows how many more locally I don't think he does that much and to be fair these days most of us are doing or have done someone else's perm at some point, the farm I do I have a contract with but I know hedgehog used to tect it, maybe he as moved on to pastures new😁😁,, all I can say he left a lot to find bless him. 😁
