Got out with a detecting friend today, he is a college student studying Environmental Engineering. I had gold on my mind so we went to a medieval gold mine area about 25 minutes from the house. We explored for about an hour then went to some areas where we could detect. The mines date back into the 1400s and are protected, very interesting area, there are a few houses built on top of tailing piles 500 years old here. Deep into the forest are very small shafts like this one, many were just test holes. Very rough terrain here, up hill both ways, LOL!
