The finds on this field are usually Georgian or older with very little modern scrap so targets tend to be quite few and far between which is maybe not such a bad thing? Here are some past finds from it which are quite encouraging - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=192&p=1251&hilit=30+acres#p1251
So far there has been just two general hotspots but still much unexplored area around the middle of the field. The ground was mainy very dry when I searched here last summer but is now mostly ideal apart from the sticky clay surface and few more targets came from just passing through those hotspot areas but nothing good. My plan was to search some more new ground regardless just to see how it is. The area I chose happened to be beneath power lines so there were frequent adjustments needed to counter the strong EMI. Targets proved very infrequent and were a combination of Georgian coppers, drinks cans and bits of scrap. Eventually I got a bit bored with there so instead I tried the bottom end of the field but it was even quieter of targets so I decided to call it a day and head back to the gate, well if you don't try you'll never know!
But looking at my past GPS tracks I offset from one and hit a new patch of targets. The first was scrap but the next was a pleasant surprise. A 1578 Lizzy three pence. Then next target just a few feet away was a George III 1797 cartwheel penny. So have noted that area for a better look sometime. But just what a late save to the day!

There were only two small bits of lead but a few bits of rough bronze smelting/casting waste.
