To kick of the new forum, here's an offer for the folks around Barlick.
**FREE RECOVERY SERVICE**
Lost a ring or article of sentimental value? for FREE recovery service, provided the loss was on open land and the approximate location is known, contact me via PM. FID (Federation of Independent Detectorists) members offer this service as a part of their membership of the Federation. I carry an identity card and am covered by £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance. Over the years members have located many thousands of lost metal items for COUNCILS, FARMERS, VETS, PUBLIC SERVICES, TOURISTS & THE GENERAL PUBLIC. For subscribers to this site from other areas, I can put you in touch with the Secretary of FID who can find a FID member in your area. If you want to check out the FID website the link is http://www.newbury.net/fid Does anyone happen to own any land with potential history beneath their feet? Lets get some research going and some detectors swinging and see what turns up. If you are considering trying this fascinating hobby or considering purchasing a detector you can start by getting hold of either "The Searcher" or "Treasure Hunting" magazines from your newsagent. Lots of information, examples of finds, reviews of detectors and detector retailers in both these publications.

Just wondering if Panbiker is still metal detecting. My field is waiting to be searched.

Yes I am Wendy, but seem to have less and less time to do it. Recent grandchild from one sibling and another on the way courtesy of my darling daughter. Anyway, I will PM you at some time and try to set a date for a foray in your field.

I saw a guy on Blackpool beach yesterday who was metal detecting and thought it a good place to be searching for lost jewellery.

"I will stand the round, and you know I will guarantee it..."
That sounds like opening the sea cocks on your bank account Frank!
If I were there I would be asking to come too. There's always something exciting about the possibility of a find. Mrs T and I walked around the site of the Battle of Sedgemoor a few weeks ago and I couldn't help keep looking at the edge of the ploughed fields hoping to find my first musket ball!

Sound like a plan to me Stanley, just have to find some time to have a look. Will give you a ring if I get a loose end and we'll see what turns up.

Thanks Ian, ring me any time during the day except lunch when I'm up the park with the white man's burden.

This picture on the geograph website shows the field in question quite clearly.

Ours is the place tucked under the farm above, with the red car outside, and the field is in front of the house. There are bits that look interesting, especially by the two hawthorn trees in the bottom right of the field where there are the remains of some walls and an area marked "garden" on old maps.

Just had a look on Google Earth Wendy, not a lot that's obvious in the field marks but some of the images on Google vary according to the time of day that they were photographed. How old is the map that indicates a garden? Sounds interesting anyway. Will be in touch.

Ian, the walled area in that corner is shown on an 1896 edition of an OS map, and it is named as a garden on a hand drawn map of the farm which I think dates from 1877. It is also mentioned in an indenture of that date. It seems a long way from the house, but in fact is the only sheltered south facing part of the field.
Stanley, 'fraid I don't do farmhouse teas, will a biscuit do? Can you tell me what date field numbering came in?
