Best Friends. Best Find. Over a Decade in the Making🙌
Ten Christmases ago, Eric and Adey met by chance in a pub. A few laughs and a few pints later, they were detecting partners. Ten years on, they still are.
No club, not much research – just friendly farmers, open fields and one motto: pick a field and detect it. You never know.
Five years ago they‘d worked a field for weeks, top to bottom, all the way down to the road. The signals at the bottom were tin cans. After a couple of hours and nothing to show, they called it a day. Eric did one last sweep with his Garrett 400i.
A signal that sounded just like the tin cans. Spade in, pinpointer buzzing and three gold nobles looking back at him. Then, because you always check your hole: one more sweep, one more signal, three more nobles!
Six gold nobles from the reign of Edward III, in immaculate condition. Eric wrote, “Who buried them, and why? Nobody knows. But that never stops the imagination.”
