Even if conditions are right there are still so many variables why a field seems dead . One thing I find is hot ground , yes literally where the sun has dried out the soil during a long summer , the ground is super porous and conductivity or ground penetration is a fraction of winter conditions . It is probably in these conditions just after harvest is when new permissions are gained and tried for the first time and probably the worst time., One way to improve your chances is to detect the said field in the early morning before the sun is fully up and the dew is still heavy on the ground , you would be amazed at the difference , I have done this many times , and to prove the point ,as the dew lifts and the ground is bone dry again and the sun is fully up ,the signals nearly all but stop coming in .Also the last couple of hours into sunset are much better as the ground rapidly cools , to be honest nowadays I rarely detect in the heat of a summers day as I find the ground is totally unproductive for the said reason , and if you try a new permission under those summer dry conditions two or three times and as I predict you will find naff as a rule, then it is not surprising people write of a field under those circumstances. A permission I share with 4 other lads has a very productive spot producing saxon coins ,hammered and some stunning artefacts , we had all , gone over this very small area dozens of times each , all swearing there was not a signal left . Sure enough I went back to that same area for another search and bang in the middle of matted footprints , mine as well lol, right on the surface I had a cracking signal and uncovered a stunning gold medieval stirrup ring ,set with a emerald and unusually for a stirrup ring the shoulders had raised floral designs on them . I have just received the ring back from PAS disclaimed treasure and will be selling it to honour 50-50 agreement with the farmer . As you said Graham never give on a field , whether a new or old permission..As you said in answer to one of the comments it is hard to juggle the permission balls , reminds me of a saying buy a old sage who said, when juggling six balls and trying to keep them in the air , always remember , two of them are yours …….lol...……...Ray
I have a couple of permissions and the farmers have said they’ve had people detect them before and yet I’ve found loads of coins and even a hammered on them. Don’t be disappointed if a farmer says this as some folk just don’t have any patience. Good video Graeme 👍🏻

Great advice! . I have a 100 acres of farm in southern New Jersey that dates back to the mid 1700s. I have been there 4 times. The last time after it was plowed. I haven't found anything. My wife wants me to give up on it because its an hour drive from my house. After listening to your advice, I am going to keep trying and not give up. Thanks
Really excellent advice... Patience, dogged patience, usually rewards in the end. Also an awareness of where field workers in olden times may have sheltered from the elements to work on hedges, to eat, rest their horses, or simply to get out of the driving rain/ Nor' Easterly gales etc for a while, many years before the luxuries of covered farm vehicles. Maybe learn to hunt in All Metal in the woods for extra depth: again; patience . Damned good incentive boosting video Graeme. Hope all good with you.
The other thing is as well. When someone gets a permission goes there a couple of times then stop going, then when another keen detectorist knocks for permission the answer is, no ! We already have someone that comes here. So I always ask when was the last time they came also just a tip ask on pick your own places they don’t mind strangers walking around their land and lastly farms that sell produce at the gate or farmhouse because they don’t mind people knocking even buy something. Thanks for the advice.
Very true words one permission I have got has been done before. But one field is huge I am sure they have not cleared all the good stuff so I keep at this one field digging every signal even when I am sure it will be iron. If nothing else It’s fresh air and good exercise and most of the time my boys come to so for me it’s a win win and I am sure my persistence will pay off. HH ATB Paul
Great video and advice .. totally agree Graeme, I've been doing my farms for many years, some fields are very quiet, which I only tend to do when I haven't got much choice, other fields produce different items on the turn of the plough, I just never give up, year after year and am still getting rewarded 😊 .. best wishes and HH Tina
Graeme, great advise as I've come to expect. I've just secured my first permission in this fantastic Hobby and although I really enjoy the organised digs as great people with loads of knowledge the thought of having my own permission is exhilarating. I will attempt to apply your wisdom. Many thanks regards Ian
More great advice for Unearthed. I have a wood on one of my permissions. And it does have an old foot path cutting through it but I've never given it ago because fields look and sound more appealing. But after this video......guess where I'm heading next time I'm there. Cheers Graeme 👍
Hi Graeme , 2 of my permissions are huge , i have been detecting them for years and they are still producing results !! , to do them properly would take me the rest of my life , well said mate , hope you are well take care pal ATB Rob .
Hi Graeme , as you know i don't mind what i find as long as it's got some history to it , and i will keep an eye on the post , many thanks take care mate ATB Rob .
Hi Graeme , the post man came today , nice one mate now the image is complete , It's not in the next video that's already sorted and will be up very soon , you take care my friend and crack on with your next video looking forward to it , ATB regards Rob .
Great video My saying is a farm is never done all different factors weather conditions different machines different coils also the plough etc it’s never done ✅
I have a field ploughed every year. Every 3 years it really produces the 2 in between are quiet. It’s only after detecting on here for 21 years I know what to expect.
This has encouraged me to clear out the shot gun shells in the wood I told you about with what could be Saxon ditches! I’ve also walked miles and miles and will continue to do so and every now and again I hit a busy area. Where is the best place to find oldest maps with footpaths?
Great vid greame, can you do a vid of the sort of things in the landscape that you look for on permissions places that you head to 1st on new perms maybe, that would be great to know?
I have lots of examples of this here is a recent one , Easter Sunday was red hot not much came up , next week went back loads came up after some rain including roman brooches but as I call them cherry pickers were not on the dig as said nothing there. This is a group dig btw , I bought the Gold panning kit Monday from your shop but I got the last one , my friend wants to try it too will you be getting them back in stock? I said will do a review of it on your site and will do a video of it too, you should do more reviews of other goods from your shop too best wishes :)
Hi Jackie, great as always to have your comments on here, and also yes gold panning kits are back in stock as we speak, hope you are well and have a good week ahead

Absolutely awesome comments ray, you stole my thunder on ground conditions as that was my next film!! Brilliant stuff as always mate
@Richard Bennett depends if its near iron, a red hot day will make the finds terrible to detect etc, many factors come into play
