And to think a lot of us have been hunting 25+yrs without finding even one of them little yellow coins....

Oh well, I'll just keep digging.

as a newbie he wasnt brainwashed into ignoring woodland as most users are and found them across 15 M of woodland .that ll teach em to ignore woodland at their peril !!

i usually give up on signals in woodland as the roots are so thick to get thru !

later news is ,the newbie found 40 then the archaeologists arrived with XP Deus machines to find the rest of the hoard

I thought you were kidding about the Deus machines....

It appears the video's have been removed, reasons unknown. But it may be related to comments from this archaeologist, who isn't a fan of detectorists:

guy on a UK forum claims he knows where the woodland is and that he has detected the site before !claims he lives right in the area quoted !
it may be a red herring though
