🇬🇧 METAL DETECTING ANCIENT UK WATERWAYS /// My first attempt at rivers, streams and creeks 💦 🐸 🍄

🇬🇧Join my UK metal detecting adventure in this magical, dripping place as I investigate an ancient crossing ford. This stunning permission borders mysterious Dartmoor, dotted with Neolithic and Bronze Age sites, a medieval drover’s path, a Victorian clayworks and granite walls built by Napoleonic prisoners of war. So much history here. I experiment with detecting in freshwater using my DEUS II.

In this video find out:
what equipment I use for freshwater detecting
what settings I tried on my machine and which worked best
a surprisingly effective piece of kit from my kitchen drawer
the challenges of working in running water
finds that taught me something about my machine

Come along metal detecting with me at my DARTMOOR PERMISSION, as I enjoy a summer detecting session in the English countryside. I’m continuing my exploration of this fascinating new UK permission and getting to know the land through my finds…

My usual mix of history, nature, outdoors and searching. 😊

A bit about me:

Not your average bloke in camo..

Hello! I’m Ellie, English female detectorist, beachcomber, mudlark and artist. 🇬🇧 Follow my searching journey metal detecting the UK countryside and shoreline, as I learn about British history through objects.

Have I found any treasure? Well - in my first year of detecting I have collected Roman artefacts, old gold, hammered coins and medieval finds. But the REAL treasure is in the stories each object tells about people and places. Sometimes it’s the mystery objects that I love best - cracking the code of time with plenty of help from my team of trusty subscribers!
