The Metal Detectives Group

The Metal Detectives Group Metal Detectives - Metal Detecting digs, finds, news and more. www.metaldetectives.co.uk Our Metal Detecting Digs are held on Sundays throughout the year.

The Metal Detectives Group organise Metal Detecting digs and events in various locations around the South of England. The counties we have held digs in are Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex, Surrey and Norfolk, with future sites in the pipeline for Suffolk, Wiltshire and more. The reason our dig

s are spread across the south is we feel it is important to explore our country's cultural hertiage and we try to visit sites that may hold a vast and interesting history. We occasionally run Saturday digs and mid-week digs too. We also run weekend detecting events for the longer distance digs, which helps give members the chance to detect a site that may be too far for just one days detecting. Our digs start at 9.30am and finish between 4pm-8pm depending on the time of year. If you are interested in becoming a member of The Metal Detectives then please contact us [email protected]

Little beauty 🥰

A stunning late medieval-style gold and turquoise ring, discovered by Jason Ashley with his Minelab Manticore at a depth of around 6–8 inches on ploughed land.

Very similar examples have been dated to around the mid-15th century, featuring a turquoise cabochon set within a decorative cusped floral bezel. During the medieval period, turquoise was particularly valued for the protective properties attributed to it, including a belief that it could guard its wearer against poisoning and accidents while riding.

Treasure

When Shropshire metal detectorist Chris Langston heard the tell-tale beep of his device in a field outside Oswestry last year, he thought it was nothing unusual.

It had picked up a small, heart-shaped object that he thought could have come off horse tack and fallen into the ground.
