  • Back on the fields of South Gloucestershire for our fourth Detectival!!
    In April we fought floods and frostbite and this time we had to cope with sweltering heat 🥵 what a difference a few months make!!
    But after a slow Saturday the Sunday produced the goods!!

    Totally agree John,treated the missus to tickets as she's the detectorist and I'm the spade man, but after 6hrs on Saturday(with many shade breaks)and very few finds even she couldn't raise the enthusiasm to start again sunday,no-one we spoke to had anything special and all seemed disappointed with the field prep but at least the cider was cold.Thanks for your usual entertaining video and congrats to Simon

      It was a tough weekend. The Badminton Estate has been hammered by Detectorists for years and the footfall for events also means it’s littered with junk. The Victorian and Georgian stuff was devoid in most fields and the lack of such finds tells you all you need to know.
      Yes some good stuff came up but I didn’t see a single pre-decimal silver and only four or five pre-decimal coins, so it’s been heavily detected for a long time.
      But for the Saturday weather I’m sure more good stuff might have come up, but I take Detectival as more of a social event these days and if something good comes up great, but I appreciate for most they want good land and finds!
      Happy hunting and maybe see you in a future dig!

    My day started at detectival with, while tha a garret not working ,I was in despair , I luckily came across a garret tent with a few friendly technicians who away to me , changed my circuit board while they were repairing it , john and Marty were there , well what a couple of gents they were , chatted away to me and both were very humble , , the kind technician got my detector sorted and met a couple of gents all in 10 mins ,, made my weekend , I got no great finds but that experience was enough to make me keep the hobby going , it’s not all about what’s in the ground

      Hi Patrick! I remember the moment well and fair play to Garrett and Regton for getting you up and running again cost free. I actually met several people over the weekend who had similar stories of customer service from Regton and that kind of service is worth it’s weight in gold, so well done them!!
      It was lovely to meet and I’m glad me and sweaty Martyn didn’t put you off too much 😂
      Sorry like me you didn’t come up with the goods, but that’s detecting for you!
      See you in the next!!
      Best wishes
      John

    @The Scottish Detectorist
    John as a longtime Floridian and having also spent years in other even more tropical places I gave you some very good directions on how to deal with a hot, sunny climate including how to dress to minimize the effects of the heat and sun.
    This was in the comments on one of your previous videos.
    I see that you either missed or completely ignored that experience based advice so I'll try again:
    Wear loose fitting lightweight and lightly colored clothing. That goes for your hat as well. Your hat should be light in color and of a type you can wet with water. As the water evaporates it will naturally have a dramatic cooling effect. Keep it wet.
    Drink PLENTY of water AND a Sports Drink of some kind that contains electrolytes.

    • @thescottishdetectorist

    Sorry about that American south style heat -- I'm of Scottish descent, but grew up with the heat. You need to save that winter blizzard cattleman's hat for one with lots of ventilation or even a straw hat or pith helmet -- you're going to cook your brain wearing that thing in hot weather.

    Seems you had the same experience as me, except unlike me you didn’t lose your musket ball in the campsite after finding it, too hot by far and the ground was baked hard like concrete, those silver Roman coins were a fantastic find though, well done Simon.

      Well I don’t lose my musket ball but Simòn did lose his and his sunglasses and he stood on his other sunglasses and broke them too, and he lost his bag of tomatoes and he lost his receiver and he re-found his receiver and he found a match box of silver plate with the original paper advert which he then lost too 😂 honestly!!

A four wheel drive vehicle is a must to get out to the most isolated places. If you came at any time of the year besides summer, I think you'd fall in love with Arizona.
