You’re going to need a few things to get you started, A Metal Detector, Headphones, Clothes, Boots, something to dig with and an optional pin pointer. A little tip I have learnt is to always offer a service in return when asking them for permission to detect these places, for example you might offer to clean up litter along the way. I have included these as it is possible to get permission however some local authorities will not permit you to metal detect. So without further adieu let’s look at some of the ways you can find out more about your land permission.

Depending on how simple it is going to be to get there and on how many people are usually there then I know for sure if it’s a great area to metal detect. Some local authorities are very strict with the “No Metal Detecting” Rule while others are more relaxed allowing you to detect as long as you follow the code of conduct and the treasury act. Beach detecting can be a great place to go metal detecting, think of all the human activity over the years. People running around, laying down, playing sports on the beach.Not only is the national archives a great place for Tithe maps it’s also an amazing place to research. So you finally get on some land and you discover something that you think may well be classed as treasure? In this post I will include template permission letters, and template contracts for you and a landowner or occupier. A group of coins (two or more) from the same find if they are at least 300 years in age when found(If the coins however contain less than 10% precious metals then there must be at least ten) The following groups will usually be classed as coming from the same find.

I’ll try to indicate from experience which could be some of the great attempts of finding coins. For me, some of the best areas to look when it comes to coins findings are the beach and the woods. This will help make your day a little more pleasurable as you do not have the worry of getting tangled, or tripping over any cables. It has a great search tool, where you can type in keywords like the name of roads and streets close by to the land, the farm name, the village or town name etc.

While researching land for metal detecting you will see that it can be very beneficial and can pay off in more ways than one. Gold is a very soft material, and can be easily marked. Do not rub at the coin. Simple wet the cotton bud and dab the coin, while dabbing you should create a rolling motion, do not be tempted to start to wipe the coin. This process will take time but being patient and slowly and consistently working this technique will remove the dirt build up eventually.

And the best thing you can do is that you can start from today. You can just start with your own town, find the history and start looking where houses have been. What happened there is crucial, if it was a highly traded route then you know you’re going for a good hunt. Sit and write a list of all the places you have seen and thought I would like to metal detect on there and begin researching to find out who owns the land. Start with a soft bristled toothbrush and water try this method first, if dirt still remains try a jewellery cleaner or ammonia solution. NO TRESPASSING: Remember all land has an owner, and before you set out to metal detect on it you should ensure you have obtained permission from the owner or tenant. To avoid arguments and disputes it is a good practice to have this permission in form of a contract or writing. Along with an agreement of what happens to any subsequent finds you may unearth The PAS is a voluntary programme that is run by the UK Government to record the numbers of small finds, or finds of historical and archaeological interest made by members of the general public. It began in 1997 and covers the most of England and Wales.Before you go out and metal detect it is a good idea to follow on through our beginners series, the next part covers the Metal Detecting Code of Conduct.
