Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 To quote my favourite Monty Python film lol . Have just returned from a few days up in Northumberland staying on Hadrians Wall,and managed to get a bit of walking in with the little one on the Housesteads section,stopping off for an MRE lunch .It is the first time I have done any section of the wall and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.If you haven't visited pencil it in,you won't be disappointed .

dagodave Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I have a friend and his family I visit every other year and they do the same. He lives in Accrington Lancashire I'd like to go to the wall and detect if we can! Edited April 28, 2016 by dagodave spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) @dagodaveWe are lucky we stay in a cottage four miles from the road,it's literally in the middle of nowhere and this time I asked the owners that very question and they said I could by all means,they own over 40 acres which include a Roman quarry and part of an aqueduct so we are back there in July,and this time Mr metal detector is coming .

Manu Della Valle Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Metaldetecting there should be very exciting!In the f@cking "country" I woke up in one morning (read the Peeple's Republik of Bananitaly) metaldetecting in such an area would be a no-no (letting Pompei fall to pieces and Dutch hooligans destroy Roman fountains is legit,tho!)...if you guys go metaldetecting there and that's legal please post your finds! Cheers Manu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagodave Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Wow Norrie that is really neat would love to see pictures if you go up there to shoot one day! Wish I was over there for a few months to metal detect you guys are lucky. Oldest coin I found in MI is a 1797 Cartwheel penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon1357 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Wow, absolutely gorgeous views. I would be in heaven for sure. I am finally at a point in my life where I realize, it is not always about the money and the go go go of suburban life. I do miss our family property almost daily.

Here you go,taken a few years ago, immediately above the Roman Fort is an Iron Age Fort...I'm not allowed to shoot directly on the area, but the surrounds are fine...:) I had a mate doing metal detecting on the surrounds, and he only came up with Victorian junk....:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu Della Valle Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) So glad to see even the slightest stone preserved like that!Here's what happening in POMPEI.....and to think that they almost ate the Pink Floyd alive when they played there!Those were the days when the Mafia and the left-wing "government" hadn't joined yet..... to sell out the "nation"!
