- Shropshire - Tibberton 72 Acre - Aces of Spades Metal Detecting8:30 am - 4:00 pmSATURDAY - On this dig we will be on a new farm that is just outside of Cherryington and Tibberton, we will have 72 acres of undetected land that has been well cultivated. This field is just down the road from the next cherryington field dig, which on the test produced a couple of bits of roman so hopefully they ventured in this direction ?? and it's within a half a mile of the 10th century Moat and 15th century manor house. I did have a quick test and there were loads of signals including the late Georgian enamelled harness stud ? This event is open as the field is that big, please show your NCMD card to one of the admin on arrival £20 per detectorist under 16s are free, arrivals from 7.30am and we'll set you off at 8.30am.
