METAL DETECTIVES / XP OPEN DIG - 100 ACRES+ IN ASTON, OXFORDSHIRE.

On Sunday 13th of December we have teamed up with XP to bring you a MDG / XP Open Dig in Aston, Oxfordshire on a 100 acre+ field. The Metal Detectives have only searched this field once before and unearthed a number of Roman coins and artefacts as well as a quarter stater and several hammered coins and other recordable items.

There is a roman villa in the field right next to our field, along with a series of crop marks that extend well into our search area, and other fields surrounding have some pretty epic crop marks and recorded features in and around them.

We would like to expect some more great finds from this area on the day so fingers crossed.

XP will be in attendance and will be on hand for free 15 min Tutorials with the XP Deus, as well as being on hand to give help & advice, and to help you with any issues you may be having getting to grips with your XP Metal Detector.

They will also have a stand set up and will have some XP giveaways for some attendees.
