July Update 2024

Here we are in July 2024 and still waiting for Spring to happen!
It's been a very cold, windy and wet Spring indeed with not many outings looking for wildlife in the UK which is my other passion.

Anyway, on the detecting front, there's not much activity now that the crops are advancing.
However, we are now looking to the new 2024/2025 season that is now upon us.
One of the things we've decided is that quite a few of our sites are now proving more difficult in the retrieval of artefacts for recording.
So, with that in mind, we have created a list of potential new sites around the UK.

Ironically, we obtained permission in 2020 for a site that is within a 2000-acre estate but because of Covid-19 and the very wet winters/springs we didn't follow it up.
Fast forward to July 2024, and after a quick email to the landowner and a quick reply back we were invited to carry out a survey after harvest this year!
We are so looking forward to this as there is promise of Roman history there as well as Medieval too.

We have also been invited to an archaeological dig at a Roman fort which is happening as I write this.

​Hopefully there will be updates on the dig as well as news on any other permissions we are lucky to obtain.
