where should i do metal detecting around my village?
Hi, can someone give me some tips about metal detecting and where to do it around my village. i live in alconbury which is a small village in cambridgeshire england. i can not go into the church or village green as the village council is retarded. where should i do my metal detecting and are there any secret tips that will help me. (I have a bounty hunter tracker IV)
I want to find Old coins and jewelry etc.
I am in the US, so I can't give any specific advice about where you live, but I can give you some tips.
Check around the base of trees. This is always a good place to look. People, as you know look to take a rest under trees, whether for shade or shelter from rain. This is also where bags are generally placed that may have something fall out of them. Somethings don't change. When you are out and about, where do you take a break and throw your backpack, purse, etc.? Without a bench, under a tree! This is really general, but under older trees is always a good place to look because of better odds of something falling out of your pocket or bag.
Ask older friends, neighbors and relatives if they know of any place around your village that used to have older homes that is now a vacant piece of land or field. Check online for old pictures and maps of your village and try to discern where those places are today. Even a home or building that is modern may have had a business or home there 200 or more years ago. The online searching is fun. Try to figure out where a certain place is by judging the horizon and land features such as mountains, streams, hills etc. This can be done most easily by using an old map, but can also be done just by looking at old pictures. By doing this you may find that where you live used to be something significant 50 years ago or 400 years ago.
Is there any place around your village that is used as a "swimming hole"? These are good places as well. People tend to have a habit of losing things like coins and jewelry around swimming holes. Coins fall out of pockets, jewelry falls off or gets broken (liike a necklace with a pendant of some kind) while rough-housing.
Good luck in your detecting!

What to Keep In Mind While Trailing the Deer
A hunter might have difficulties to track back once the trailed deer enter the networks of tracks already there. This is when your ability to distinguish the difference in the appearance of different tracks. And there are no rules to distinguish them because different factors need to be considered like temperature, humidity etc. affects the freshness of the tracks. Experienced trackers are often able to see the difference in tracks one hour old, but most of us are not that good.
When a deer runs to a place where feeding deer have left a network of tracks, the trailing hunter is apt to have a slow and difficult task in following his deer into untraveled territory. To be sure, he is following the freshest of the tracks, but it is sometimes next to impossible to know which track is the freshest. There isn't much a tracker can do about this except to acquire the ability to distinguish the difference in the appearance of tracks of different ages.
Here again there is no rule to follow because so many different factors must be considered. Temperature and humidity affect the apparent freshness of tracks in mud and on bare ground, yet it is usually possible to tell the difference between today's track and one that is twenty-four hours old. Freezing and thawing will age tracks that are made in snow so that, as a rule, it is easier to detect the fresher of two tracks at that time than when the ground is bare. Experienced trackers are often able to see the difference in tracks one hour old, but most of us are not that good.
Besides freshness there is a distinction in the appearance of different deer tracks to aid us in following an individual. Each deer's hoof has minor imperfections that set it apart from any other. However, these differences are so small and the hoof impressions so imperfect that we cannot use them to identify any certain deer, but must depend on a track's size and shape for identification. Few hunters will confuse the track of a two-hundred-pound buck with that of a fifty-pound fawn, yet all things are possible in the woods. I have seen men following sheep, cow and even hog tracks with the expectation of overtaking a deer. These men have a lot to learn before calling themselves deer hunters.
No good tracker will mistake a buck's track for that of a doe if he is able to see clear, plain impressions of the feet. The toes on a buck's front feet are more blunt and rounded than those of a doe. It is not always possible for the hunter to see the tracks of these front feet because deer walk in such a manner that the back feet are placed on the impressions of the front feet, obliterating the latter. In young deer, this is almost always true, but as the deer ages, the back feet do not always cover the entire track and the shape of the toes may be seen just ahead of the impressions of the back feet. When deer run or bound in their characteristic manner, the tracks of the back feet do not cover the tracks of the front feet, but the tracks are usually so distorted that their exact shape cannot be determined. The clearest and most distinct tracks will be found where a deer has been feeding, just treading around. Often clear impressions of four feet will be found at these places.
All things are possible in the thick woods so it is not that easy to identify the fresh tracks one from the old ones no matter how experienced you may be in hunting. Some men following sheep cow and even hog tracks with the expectation of overtaking a deer. These men have a lot to learn before calling themselves deer hunters.
