I was searching on pasture in the north west of England when I got a steady signal of 35 on my Safari. I started to dig and kept checking with my pinpointer but seemed to be getting no nearer. I was expecting it to be deep from the signal and have to admit that I was tempted to give in and re-fill the hole but carried on down. At a depth of 18 inches (46cm) I spotted what turned out to be a bronze age palstave axe. It is dated to about 1500bc and is to most people the find of a lifetime but this was my second axe in a 12 month period. I got some comments at my clubs next meeting as the previous meeting I had won a trophy for artifact of the year for my earlier axe.
