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.

Family commitments keep me away this weekend unfortunately, but have put next September's event in the diary!
Look forward to hearing how this weekend goes - and to Nigel's hoard report!

Very tempted bit of a trek though

I take my eye off the ball for a week and this comes along, knackers! Good luck everyone out there in the rain...
-
It was a great dig, over 70 items recorded, very muddy but well worth the effort.
-
Good to see you again Gary,well organized dig despite the weather.
Anymore gold come up?
-
Good to see you to mate, I didn't see anymore Gold only the mediaeval ring.
-
Was a great day good to see you all
-
Likewise Deano. Nice to meet your brother and it was nice to have a chat with Brendon hoardfinder and Saxon hunter, haven't seen them for ages. Going through my bits I got lots of broach bits. Around Garys stand there was a good atmosphere all day. A good day out and one to remember.
-
That Brendan chap ;D gets all over the place, despite the bad weather everyone enjoyed themselves hope it's a bit dryer this coming Sunday Gary :-\
-
Finally cleaned all the mud off my equipment and my finds.
Think I have a lead aeroplane. And a part of a small buckle.
There is a part of a thimble and possibly the end of a walking stick as there are two possibly nail holes at the middle .
