Britain's What's On Event Guide
Beep, Dig, Discover: Unearthing Speen's Hidden Past
SHH now in their 25th year of raising funds for Four local Hospices present an evening's entertaining talk -Come along for a most enjoyable and informative evening to meet and discuss:
Two local metal detectorists Martin Radvan and Paul Trendall have been detecting since they were teenagers, but only got more serious when they retired. They are not part of any society or rallies etc, it's just the two of them and Martin's Border Terrier 'Poppy.' They only ever detect with the landowners permission and via Amanda De Thier have made contact with many people in Speen.
They have been detecting once a week and have been covering Farms and Houses in Speen for well over a year now. Each week they provide the owner with a report, there are around 30 produced so far for Speen. They also submit anything of historical significance to Aylesbury Museum for the Portable Antiquity Database.
Over the year they have investigated: Flowers Bottom Farm, Flowers Bottom Cottage, Darvills Hill Farm, Darvills Cottage, HighView House, The White House & Willots Farm and they are still working through them. As part of our reporting we've looked into local connections and have discovered various interesting areas including; a lace making site, a Military volunteers camp, the probable original route of the lane as well as countless domestic items of historical interest.
