Lathom, Lancashire, UK. 24th September, 2015. Metal detectorists scanning a recently harvested field in search of hidden treasures. Many farmers welcome the treasure hunters as long as it is after harvest time. Ploughed fields generally offer the greatest prospects for making good finds and are the most favoured sites for any detectorist. This is mainly because they are continuously being turned over, bringing new finds to the surface. (Images taken from public footpath). Credit: Cernan Elias/Alamy Live News

The field's owner allows them to look for a short time each year after the crop has been harvested. Ploughed fields generally offer the greatest prospects for making good finds and are the most favoured sites for any detectorist. This is mainly because they are continuously being turned over, bringing new finds to the surface. The only drawback to these sites is the damage caused to many finds by farm machinery and long-term exposure to agro-chemicals.
