Has anyone ever been detecting in Bideford? Going there in a few weeks and curious if anyone has tried the beaches or the estuary. In the Medieval period it's reported to have been England's third biggest port - sounds promising.

Any tips appreciated

Cheers
Neil

good luck Neil. i asked the same question earlier this year without reply.
I believe from what I have read that most of the Roman remains are buried deep under sand near to the coast and estuaries .  Wink

I detected with my brother at Westward Ho! beach. Mostly modern coins etc, but when you are standing on the beach looking out to sea, if your glance to your left there is an area where locals have found flint tools etc. It will all depend on how much sand has been re-distributed from the beach, if you can get down to the hard mud you will have a better chance. Best of luck anyway.
