This past week I had a chance to detect abroad for the first time. It was an amazing week, I spent over 70 hours swinging the detector on the fields around Colchester, England in search of the "old stuff." Colchester has a history of over 2000 years and the finds tha come out fo the area are incredible.




I found a bunch of stuff, and will highlight some of it on these pages over the next few posts, as well as a review the equipment that I took with me for the adventure, but I will start today with a little teaser.





This is a picture of me with my trusty Tesoro Cortes Detector, and decked out in my Tilley T3 outdoors hat on the fields of Colchester. This picture was taken just after I dug every detectorist's dream find -- a Gold Coin!









Stay tuned for more!
