Worked & Re worked sites.:confused::ukflag:

Today i found this field tucked out of the way , sort of looked like it might never have been worked before. I had been detecting about 1 hour when i was approached by a guy in combat gear. The guy said i would find nothing as the field had been worked and re worked by others for the last 27 years or so. I was surprised but then i thought well i have heard this before , you find a site that looks promising only to be informed that the site has been worked since 1980 or something.. My guess is that 90% of fields here in the uk have been worked at some time.. ... Some fields worked out harder than others i guess... Any comments welcome on worked out and re worked sites... Finds seem to be getting thinner on the ground !

I have a site where the bottom end always floods in the winter so the crops tend to fail. When i am short of land to go on in the summer i always head there. I have detected the same small area 50+ times with my two old detectors and the SE. I was on another part of this field heading back to the car the other night as it was getting dark. I decided to just do a 2m square patch very slowly with the SE. There is a lot of junk in that particular area but i still managed to pull out three George V pennies.
The next day I went back to another part of the field where i had found a cap badge and coin weight earlier in the week - and did a low & slow session. I pulled out a commonwealth half groat (my first hammered off this farm/field) and at least 20 other buttons and other bits.
I know ground coverage is not going to be great - but the results i got prove to me you just need to go VERY slow and low over any previously detected land and you will find something with the SE. I now have permission for 4 farms and another farmer has actually requested that i go an see him as he interested to know what is on his land - well over 1500 acres. All farms (except the new one) have been detected by other people for at least 20 years - but i have always found plenty of stuff - and probably only ever get 1 or 2 sessions a year when i don't come home with anything.

Slow and low - something will pop up!

cheers
