Default Has it all been done before?

Evenin' all, tips hat to all n sundry.

My questions for today;

Are there virgin territories yet to be explored, or have a million pairs
of wellies already plodded every field and beach many times over already?


I'd imagine, if there were as yet unsullied tracts, one would be wise to
keep one's mouth shut, would they not? Not that it's at all likely.

Also, have you covered one piece of ground a couple of times, and then
found something where you'd already looked previously?

Thanks!

The statement above does not give the whole story, without some
thought. When the fields are ploughed, the depth of the plough is
somewhat less than 18". Maybe 10"?

Whilst most detectors will signal something the size of a manhole
cover 18" deep, they wouldn't stand a chance of finding a small ring,
for example, at that depth.

So, you can see why finds continue to be found after the passing
of several searches...
