A note from the administrator.

I have had to close the forum to new members. Registration is shut. I'm sorry for it - but I can no longer vouch for who comes through the door.

You may also find that certain older topics are no longer where you left them. I have, with great reluctance, removed a small number of threads and posts from this forum. I did so at the written request of a firm of solicitors acting for the landowner, who hold that the material touched on matters they would prefer were not aired in public.

I have complied, because I am one man and they are not. I want it set down plainly, here, that I did so under protest, and that I do not accept the grounds. Nothing removed was untrue. Nothing removed was anyone's business to suppress.

But I will not delete this board. What is left here stays, and you may read it for as long as I can keep the lights on. I have locked the doors; I have not burned the house. I have kept copies of everything. I would ask, gently, that those of you who hold anything of your own do the same.

Bill if its a barrow do NOT let anyone near it with a detector, scheduled is scheduled, you need consent and all sorts. Not that id ever ask of course ;) Lovely bit of ground though. Had a Bronze Age ring out Pewsey way two summers back, recorded proper with the FLO, it is in the museum now.

First post, Pete from Pewsey

Alright all. Pete from Pewsey, been swinging a detector round here twenty year, got my permissions and the FLO on speed dial. Found a lovely little Roman bow brooch back in the spring, properly recorded an all before anyone starts. Happy to ID stuff if you put clear pics up.
