WOW! Prevailing wind really CAN guide us towards metal detecting finds! As I discovered with a 1700’s coin find…. (*i made a mistake - its a half penny, not a penny!)

In this video I find out what you can learn from the prevailing weather conditions on historical ground. This trip I combine old map research with Met Office data to identify sites where finds might be likely. It helped me find a coin from the 1700’s - and I got a ‘lived experience’ soaking in the process!

I also test my new XP Backpack 240 - I love it SO MUCH!!! Get it at a discounted price here [ Ссылка ]


Come along metal detecting with me at my COASTAL PERMISSION, as I enjoy a summer storm detecting session in the English countryside. I just passed the 18 month mark as a beginner detectorist - I’m continuing my exploration of this fascinating UK permission and getting to know the land through my finds…

My usual mix of history, nature, outdoors and searching. 😊

A bit about me:

Not your average bloke in camo..

Hello! I’m Ellie, English female detectorist, beachcomber, mudlark and artist. 🇬🇧 Follow my searching journey metal detecting the UK countryside and shoreline, as I learn about British history through objects.

Have I found any treasure? Well - in my first year of detecting I have collected Roman artefacts, old gold, hammered coins and medieval finds. But the REAL treasure is in the stories each object tells about people and places. Sometimes it’s the mystery objects that I love best - cracking the code of time with plenty of help from my team of trusty subscribers!
