despite not being an archaeologist my best find/artifact was a couple of things on a good day firstly metal detecting at an old farm ,i instantly found a bronze age socketed axe head apparently one of the rarest types ever found in scotland a short while later near the same spot i found a lot of burning in one spot which was full of iron as my detector kept going wild i recorded the find spots and went to inform the local farmer of the find as his wife was the curator of the local museum ....after dinner we went back to the fields my fiends and i decided to walk along the coastline and while i was detecting they spotted a piece of wood that was almost black and was clearly old and had been worked and my friend scott who has some experience with wooden artifacts started to move some sand and general debris and uncovered part of a log boat which was buried under the sand he recorded it and reported it and it turned into a 30 foot dug out canoe almost perfect conditon and is now known as the tay or perth canoe 7000 years old !!!!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1...e-Tay.html
