Keep detecting - and keep letting us know what you find.

Thanks D,I'm glad your enjoying the thread,I wish Mrs E shared your enthusiasm for the hobby
.
Sadly,due to the weather (and Mrs E),I haven't been out much lately.As soon as I do I'll be back trying to detect that Accrington hoard.
I've found coins from across the pond before so you never know, I may well stumble across one of them remaining 23 dimes.
I've tried researching the best places that could increase my chances of finding something of historical significance,under that old tree near that old Manor House etc,but I came to the conclusion you've got to have Lady Luck on your side because our landscapes have changed so much....
