This AMATEUR metal detectorist will be going out this afternoon to also try and find something of interest. What are the PROFFESIONAL metal detectorists doing today ?

Earl of Lansdown could be a possibility - as Bowood Estate is just outside of Chippenham - within a few miles of find spot.

Many thanks

Just received my October issue of Saga magazine, and found an extremely interesting article on Vindolanda - well worth a read, and you will not be surprised by some of the reactions that the came from "officialdom" in the early years.
