Christmas Metal Detecting Dig
15th December 2019 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
General Information & Location
Near Burford, Oxfordshire
200+ acres of cultivated ground
We have arranged the Christmas Metal Detecting Dig on a site which has been kind to us in the past and has given us a few golds hammered, gold milled, gold rings and some nice hammered coins roman coins and brooches and many other cool finds.
We have 5 of our most productive fields from previous visits all having been well cultivated and turned since our last visit and we have also arranged to search another 4 new fields for us for the Xmas dig, these 4 new fields have been searched about 4 years ago by a small number of metal detectives group members and one of the fields gave a gold hammered coin and another gave parts of a roman statue and other interesting finds covering a wide and varied date range.
The potential for the site and area as we know is very good with a good selection of great finds already coming up on our 2 previous visits on the 5 old (already searched) fields and we are very confident the new fields will produce a good varied selection of finds for our Christmas dig attendees.
So with known Roman & Medieval sites close by, Anglo Saxon battle sites in the area and of course the very historic Medieval Market town of Burford within view of our search fields there is no doubt we will be seeing some excellent Christmas finds popping up for the lucky few.
Due to the unpredictable weather, the parking will be on hard standing near and around farm buildings.
LP Detecting will be on hand to deal with all your Christmas requests and to help with all your Detecting needs and requirements. You could even pre-order anything you need and collect it from Leisure Promotions (LP Detecting) at the Christmas Dig on Sunday 15th of December.
We will also have hot and cold food on hand all day to keep you fed and watered.
There will be the MDG / LP Xmas raffle with some great prizes available provided by LP Detecting & Metal Detectives Group. Tickets will only be available on the day at £5 per ticket.
Prizes will include Metal Detectors & Accessories, Detectival Tickets, Metal Detectives Membership & Free digs.
