I’m lucky my landowners all say that if I can detect then I can detect despite whatever crop is on there or how established it is. I have one farmer who actively calls me when he’s seeded his fields to see if my friend and I are around as we help keep the birds off trudging around digging the occasional hole.
Great! My favorite farmer doesn't allow me on as soon as he seeds and I understand that.
In Canada we see cover crops every fall I believe some are harvested. However I’m not a farmer but surrounded by farms.
The Amish where I live use "field radish" as a cover crop. I figured out it was daikon so i get to detect and they let me snitch some leaves and roots when i want. Good folks.
My farmer plants cover crops, but he doesn't mind if I detect the cover crops. Hopefully, other farmers will think this same way!❤
But surely the cover crops won't be harvested, they'll be ploughed into the soil? So it won't matter if you walk on it? Fields can't yield crops every year for ever. They need a rest and to be planted with clover for nitrogen fixing and soil health. Or is my knowledge from about 70 years ago?
Hard to detect in a foot of Borage or mustard
It shouldn't be left to get to full maturity, just long enough to give its optimum amount of fertiliser.
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that you're having to deal with the government stepping in and forcing the farmers hands. I live just next to a farm field thats around a couple hundred acres. I only get a few weeks of the year in total that Im able to hunt it because of the same exact reason. The farm field owner doesnt care if I dig after he plants the cover crop but it certainly makes it difficult to swing the metal detector shortly after that cover crop is planted and starts to grow.
They recently harvested the cover crop and immediately turned the field by the end of the next day. I was looking forward to hunting the field because it had been months since I could enter and walk around but turning the field right away just KILLED it for me.
Partially correct. The other driver in doing this is the cost of fertiliser, although it is falling in the UK.
The fields behind me were covered with a legumes for several months after harvest but have already been ploughed up. I was still able to detect without problem.
This is what I believe in as well when I garden. I dont through the weeds away in my garden. I just throuw them on my plants that I want to keep or the seeded plants. It's a bad idea throwing away weeds. they are great fertizers.
In Germany, well Bavaria they are now mandatory., And the cover crops grow so fast, and my favorite field was literally chest high plants.
I like your hat, Bill !
Be blessed buddy!
Thanks
Was out with Nugget last week
That’s common here in the US. Now they plant without even plowing. The seed grows up with the weeds.
The only thing that this may effect is after the crop starts to grow is that it may stop the ability to swing your detector and hence shorten the duration of your season in that manner?
around here farmers plant winter wheat but its mostly to plow back in un the spring its like a natural fertilizer. so I dint think it will be that bad
Might pay to keep a calendar of your local fields or be in touch with the farmers so you can get in quickly before the cover crops get too big. Maybe switch to woodlands and around old houses etc in the off-season.
Yeah happening in the south east UK already.
I'm so sorry! That is bad news for you! Unfortunately, you will have to just do what you can. Government mandates suck!
Please don't go!! I'll miss your "excited face"!!! I missed today's video unavoidably but saw the notification title and I sure hope it's not for good😢😢
The farmer won't care if you detect on clover ground cover. It is the same as pasture. When they plough the cover crop in, it adds nitrogen.
It is far better for the land, I agree... but can't see many live digs being filmed in waste deep peas (or similar nitrogen rich plants - basing it on green fill, and green composting used in backyard veggie growing). I mean, literally, we won't be able to see them! 😂 I guess there are always the woods, with permissions?
Many farmers in the USA already do this. Some of them don't mind if you detect those fields but some of them do. Always best to ask to make sure.
If that's all there is to it, then the landowner shouldn't mind detecting in non valuable cover crops. However metal detecting and the number of detecting YT channels means the subject is now dead in the water. To get more subs and views - change your content with something else you know about - and YOU know about a lot
Top soil is only 2" deep at most and it provides all nutrients and always blows away during the off season. I used to be a cartographer for Soil Conservation Agency and this was a huge problem in 1970. Earth was missing her topsoil way back then. I can understand how this is a problem for metal detecting! I''m so sorry to hear this!
Thanks for the heads-up, Clem!
Yes, great for humanity, not for history/treasure hunters though. Are the governments’ subsiding the off season plantings? So many questions.
Good question! They are mandating in France and I guess there is a grant as it costs at least £10 an acre to do it and it looks like they do it in a way a satellite can see it and confirm compliance, but I'm only guessing. They are telling off farmers who don't do it so it is being taken very seriously.
@@ChillBill1 Maybe locally with drones? If they’re that serious about compliance. When will ticketing or fees per acre be enacted? Like before, so many questions? Glad France has the grant program! With the extreme weather problems caused by climate change. The growing season might be going well, the next day the entire crop is no more.
On a more personal note, the metal detecting is your work out or gym of choice. Now where can you do something you love, while getting a full body workout? I’ve been considering adding on a indoor pool. Have the space, just personal issues with cutting down the beautiful mature trees that are currently in the way. Ah, the problems with aging! lol
are you going to Ireland to metal detect.
I'd love too... but isnt it verbotten there?
Hunted more cover crop fields than not, here in the USA.
oh for a flat harrowed field
Not good news Bill for detecting I think some of the cover crops could be in a few years making the Land a no go.
Thanks Bill 👍😔
It's not forcing farmer's hands. It's good for the environment and good for the farmer. It enriches the soil and reduces erosion of the valuable topsoil. They have done it for decades here is America. There is usually a gap between harvesting and replanting.
Ever heard of PFAS
Yes and in Europe, it wasn't common but now its being implemented via government and it means field will only be open for a few weeks rather than a few months for metal detectorists.

You can walk on winter rye. Not a big deal.
Cover crops, it’s now a greater challenge for you to find new and better places to detect. Cheers 🥂 !
Oh no, not going to be much fun or prosperous for you. Wow, what??? 😢❤
Green fertiliser
Interesting 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
How about letting farmers do what they want with their own land?
Tell your farmers to plant grass as a cover crop
82,000 scientists around the world have agreed that it's already too late. IE we are screwed no matter what we do!
I understand why they will do it but couldn't you hunt in the cover crop since it's pretty much weeds.... I mean yeah it would be tough going at times but I don't see any difference then hunting fields. Just my thoughts. Farmers might not want you digging in the cover crops....
Without a over crop you can get months of detecting. In a few weeks a cover crop is too deep to detect, if you are allowed on.
