That is why I cut out any i.d on where the fields are Great

I have learnt a lot from Time Team about these circles.... Will have to try and do some checking Clapp

I am the only one with these fields, so I can take my time on them Kiss

I will take a size reading on the diameters of these circles, will let you know in 1/2 hour on here...

when you go there use your GPS get the Lat/Longs from the map and go to the field and measure across it then come back half way then put a marker in the middle of it, see if you can mark out a square around it and do the whole area, but only when you are detecting there and always remove any markers when you leave there coz people might be watching you,

Yeah, I am not so worried about digging the ruins as they are only walls or post holes, but the finds around these sites can be amazing Great

if I dig the walls then I will draw attention, which I do not want to happen. If I do dig the walls, it will be after I am finished detecting the site, which could be years Funny

Thats way I said use a GPS coz then you can mark the map of the area that you have done and know where to do next, otherwise on a big field you could end up missing loads of areas, and then you can also plot you can plot your find and find the hot spots along with build up an Idea of what and where things have been going on there, on sites like that you just cant wonder around aimlessly because when you do it like that you can work out where the next hot spot is,

What the heck is going on Xavier?? My best to you! Hope everything works out okay.

Well it a peers that the cancer was not cut out well enough so back to the hospital to have it checked out and more than likely more cutting to be done.

Just aggro and disappointed about it all, feels like my body's letting me down and it has never done that before.
