<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the_highlander, post: 26618, member: 1592&quot;]being from the highlands i know what your saying.I think were totaly spoiled in the uk for choice when it comes to metal detecting there is hardly a field in england that you wouldnt find something in.</p><p><br /></p><p>in the south there are so many old roman coins found they are considered a pest to detectorists.i was brought up beside culloden battlefield, this was where the last stand of the scots before the uk became a union was fought.In the mountains and glens all around there are sure to be buried treasures, the odd nice find is found too.Though amazingly there are very few people that do metal detecting there a very scare breed there is more train spotters or bird spotters.</p><p><br /></p><p>Metal detecting kinda carries a stigma like someone that would stand on a train platform taking the numbers off the trains would.Its kinda seen as the height of geekiness.Also on that point coin collectors are not that known too very few of them.Probably most scottish coins go to the usa/canada/australia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ive no idea how this is the situation as in england its a bit diffrent.I have never even heard of a coin shop in scotland, infact i doubt there is one in the whole country there might be one in edinburgh or glasgow but that will be it.Rare coins that would makes 1000s in the usa if they carried the same history make very little, there just aint the collectors for them.In a country of 5 million people i bet you would have a hard job finding 1000 collectors and half of these would be common museum curators.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
