Barbour Way of Life

It's for days spent exploring and enjoying nature's playground. It's for days surrounded by friends, family, loved ones, bags packed. It's day trips, long walks, and getaways you'll always remember. For letting the outside in this season, it could only be... Barbour.

 To highlight the Barbour community living the Barbour Way of Life, this month we visited the cousin-duo behind Roman Found.



 

Meet @RomanFound's Ellie and Lucie

In this episode of Barbour: It’s a Way of Life, we joined cousins Ellie and Lucie behind Roman Found, a shared passion for metal detecting and responsible artefact excavation. Watch the episode to see Ellie and Lucie talk us through their best finds and the importance of historical storytelling. From striking gold by finding a Henry the 7th medieval coin, to a pre-war lead toy gun, this activity has helped bring the duo closer to the deep-rooted history of their home ground in Lincolnshire. 

Find out more about metal detecting, responsible excavation, and the best how-to tips below so you can also explore the history beneath your feet. 


METAL DETECTING TIPS

Ellie and Lucie from @Romanfound tell us the top tips for responsible metal detecting.

Step 1: Get the landowner’s permission. In the UK this can be a verbal or written contract.

Step 2: Keep the coil low to the ground, sweeping back and forth slowly.

Step 3: Listen carefully for interesting signals and differences in tones. Once you get a signal use the pin-point function to locate.

Step 4: Use a pinpointer to hone into the artefact.

Step 5: Dig carefully and fill all holes to ensure the land is not disturbed after excavation. Ellie suggests a 3-sided plug with a hinge for grass to survive.
