Good morning!
One of my other passions in my life, apart from my wife of course, (just in case she reads this) is flying.
I have the privilege to fly a very old PA28 around the local area with my non detecting buddy. When we take up the old girl up to blow the dust off her wings I take up my camera and over fly some of my detecting sites. Different times of the year and light conditions can show some different features from the air at that moment in time. Yes I use the normal web based A/P sites like most people but this way I can pick and choose the ground conditions and the angle of the sun.
The first photograph you can see the old field boundaries, now ploughed out running from left to right from the bends (kinks?) in the left hand side hedge. In detecting the lines of the old hedges I have found several hammered coins and a first for me in the form of a Commonwealth, 1649-60 Halfgroat (silver). See photograph.
The second photograph you can see also see clearly old field boundaries . Showing up in the form of a dark area in front of the farm buildings is the location of an old orchard. Several items of jewellery have been recovered from this area.
I hope the above is of some interest to you?
