When I see totals like yours I blush, i set myself a meagre target of 10 a year. I have 2 so far this year (my year starts feb).
But now I have my GMP, I might have to add a '0' on! :lol:

I agree with Karv.... 1 hammered a year is a good number... I've never found one since I started detecting in the early 80's.

Thats not good enough history hunter.
If you want to find hammerd here are some tips.
1. Get an "Explorer" O.S map and look for land next to - churches, wells, springs, rivers and streams, look for south facing slopes.
2. Get some land, and make it arable (pasture sucks alot of the time)
3. Do research - place names, field names, ask locals, look at aerial photography.
4. Go to the farms closest to your chosen site for permission.
Ive got a comprehensive list of potential sites from all over the country. If you PM me with an area you are interested in, I can check my database and see what comes up, if you like, but you will need a map for refrence
