    I love to research old maps. Its amazing how many areas which were once farms, roads, buildings, etc. are now just forrests only 50-100yrs later. Small villages, towns, and industrial areas have come and gone for ages. In America we don't have the benefit of thousands of years of civilization, but we do generally have very good land use records available and a wealth of that is on-line, free to look up. I also try to correlate old maps with current Google Earth images.

    That's great that you got the permission to detect the park. Great tips about the evergreens leaving less leaf-litter, and not leaving any damage behind - especially in a park where more people would walk through at night or in fog.

    Another great video. I live in the Forest of Dean, (literally in the forest!) so this is great advice. Thankfully some of the woods around me is privately owned so hopefully I can get permission. Lots of mining going back hundreds of years so lots of iron and junk, but also hopefully a few decent things to be found. If not, then I’ve had a nice few hours in the woods with nature.

    I miss the old metal detecting activities you did in Germany, I really enjoyed watching those. Just watching you during this video, it is obvious that your passion for detecting is alive and well, in fact, you seem to be in your element more than when doing the travel videos. I do enjoy the travel, and I hope you continue to do both. I watched the video you and Mazzi shot where you were requesting ideas to fund the project and I am trying to think of ideas to help.

    I'd not subbed before today because I didn't know if I had much in common with someone "across the pond." I was an idiot! You sir, know detecting which explains why you're one of the most popular channels on UA-cam! I'll be a regular from now on! I did gasp when you dropped that butt! Glad you quickly cleared that up!
