Old detection paths

First of all using a detector of metal on the old paths cannot be improvised, to do research on your Department upstream. View maps such as old IGN maps or maps of the Cassini family. Consult Google maps and see if ancient traces are still present, traces of habitations but also traces of old roads.

Above all, stay within the law. Prospecting is subject to consent. Refer to the article regarding the law and other sites to find out if you’re in the legality. It is illegal to prospect on archaeological sites and the Roman roads part.

The old paths and old roads go back often at that time Roman (2000 years old!) and a few times well before! Men are always moved, for trade, because of the wars and for full other reasons. These routes have therefore been borrowed by millions of people! Foot either conveyed (chariots…) these are real mines d’Or for any prospector who respects himself. Caution do not use your detector of metals on archaeological sites.

Indeed, the banks did not exist at the time, people often travelled with large sums on them, sometimes their life savings…

Unfortunately the majorities of the old ways have today been tarred and much of the treasures they contained with. Fortunately still us have the edge of these routes, which them, have not been tarred. However there are ‘wild’ roads, roads that are no longer used and on which nature has taken over his rights. It is on these roads that as a prospector, armed with your metal detector, you will make your most beautiful discoveries.

As most of the journeys were made on foot, the people of the time were often stops to rest or to refresh. That is why military terminals, water points, or groves are inexhaustible sources for prospecting at the metal detector. Feel free to target these places during your research.

Moreover, it is noted that people of the time were very pious. And as a result, many religious buildings such as the wayside crosses, chapels, churches were quasi-mandatory stops for pilgrims and travellers. And so as much opportunity to drop coins and other treasures from their pockets.

Be on the lookout for caches.

For more effective results, please put yourself in the skin of the characters of the time. I do not ask you dress up as Knight or travelling merchant! But imagine that, at the time, thieves of major railroads were very present. They did not hesitate to robbed travel, and believe me or not, but at the time it was the fellowship and life! This is why travelers hiding their money in the bend of a tree or a stone. Usually something recognizable to go search for their treasure subsequently. And this is where that with your metal detector you come. The old paths are therefore quite suitable for metal detecting.

It said generally half of the recovered treasures have been on the edge of a path ancient type Roman road… A wise!

These are usually ancient coins found at the roadside. Between cans of soda and other wastes, it is true that the metal detector sounds so often, do not hesitate to discriminate a minimum. But there however these parts in large numbers.

The religious buildings, old places housing hostels or even a crossroads are very interesting for detection because they were places of gathering.

Be smart, help you so-called sites and other place names.

The Roman roads or old roads are often names such as Brunhilda, the four paths or even the dais…

the Technique:

Sweep until at least two three metres from each side of the ancient track because often the objects after. If the soil is too hard, do not hesitate to pass the path to the metal detector, otherwise don’t waste your time. If it’s a Roman road with stones not destroy the road for a single dime… go your way.

Discrimination: at the level of discrimination, eliminate the ferrous, often present on roads, but do not discriminez too otherwise you will pass next to pieces of gold and other gold jewelry.
