Went out today to ask permission to search some old fields. The second farmer I asked gave me permission to search his land. The conditions were good, but the finds were a little bit disapointing.
Yes you are right, when I started metaldetecting more then 30 years ago this was the way we detected grass fields only. We found some great things there. Last couple of years I did some more beach detecting, but I think I have the fever back again. Thanks, Andre
