How can a metal detector find pottery
I can find things "eyes only" as we say, years of staring at the ground does that, almost a super power.

Really? So when a burning building is about to collapse instead of hoping Superman or Spiderman turns up to save the day some distressed woman screams out "My baby, my baby, he's trapped inside that building, I need someone who can find spoons!"
Silly comparison, you wouldn’t get a tree surgeon to fix your boiler, you’d get a plumber, yet they are both skilled trades nonspecific gender persons.
Saw this the other day and surprised they are only getting around to it now.

Yes interesting changes wonder if they’ll be after some of my old finds?
I think the silly comparison was thinking that staring at the ground was a super power tbf.
However, to offer balance and perspective, I've always liked the thought of doing a bit of detectoring. The only thing putting me off is the slightly pikey aspect you see at the beach where some bloke is under the pier looking for loose change and anything else that drops through the boardwalk.
Finding a Saxon treasure trove sounds appealing, more so than a couple of halfpennies under Shanklin pier.
A friend found a Saxon gold ring on a farmer's land. He cracked on that he had found it on the beach to avoid giving old McDonald his share. It got declared treasure trove and he got eleven grand. Had he played a straight bat he would have got more.
It's hardly treasure hunting though is it? I doubt anyone would describe a box of cups and saucers as a treasure chest.
