River Finds

[oliver]

Here are three nice finds that i have had this week in two short serches along with over 70 coins and 100 plus lead fishing weights, buttons old keys brass and copper boat nails screws door fittings cloth seals.All came from a dirty muddy stretch of river coved in iron and broken glass and rubbish.I had to clear one patch so i could use the deus as i could nor use but it paid off as you can see from the three finds that came from that area.

Oliver,those are some really lovelly finds out of interest which detector do you shoot from the hip for river work ??

[oliver]

Hi when go in i use the B3 but i would love to use the Deus as it works great in and around the iron pity i know there is a Ariel set up for the Deus did make one but did not work very well.The Deus is turning out to be be a good beach and river detector for me.

Fantastic Oliver. One day I hope to be able to "Do" a small river. I look forward to seeing more of your finds.

Hi Fubar if you have a river or even ponds and any water to search you will finds good things as water drew people there in droves in the old times.\good luck

All I can conclude is that those guys in the west country are totally lax with their valuables, or you are one BRILLIANT tectorist .... HH

If you think that is good have a look in the Thames you will never go anywhere to detect.The pickings here a sparse hard work infarct.

Digging the Thames foreshore is one of the only things i have missed since i left London. over 20 years ago. Still find most Rivers are either Feast or Famine. have a lot of days where i go home with nothing. But odd spots have more than made up for it

Yes that is the only thing i miss about the big smoke.Used to live on the foreshore ,down most days when not at work.Lived right next to the river and played on the foreshore when i was a kid that's what got be into finding things.Started picking up clay pipes then started to find coins eyes only.Then in the 60 got a detector and had a heyday with finds used to take to the London museum to find out what i had found.
