Excellent and very useful information to the detectorists seeking and living in the Norfolk area who want to find hidden treasure's / artifacts, you are a treasure trove of detailed computer analysis your self Cleggy , and again I'm very impressed with the time and work you put into the making of these video's .

Your a wise man, awesome video as always stay warm

Thanks, you too!

Fascinating. I'm familiar with the British Ordinance survey but I've seen nothing like this. Wish the USGS had something comparable for US civil use. Great content. More, please.

[@WestCountryClegg]

Interesting! I don't see why not I couldn't do it for Americans. All I would need to make the least cost paths would be elevation data (DTM) presumably the Indians would have done something similar to find the easiest routes and during your Civil War each side would have taken the easiest route to transport cannons.

@@WestCountryClegg The U.S. is a big market for this of content. Not just detecting. We have so much open space in the highly accessible SW states. And civil war buffs are voracious consumers of factual, original content. Pair up with Green Mountain guy. Keep going!

Thanks for the tip!

[@ChillBill1]

Pure genius!

[@oldplucker1]

That is Norfolk Craig. Yes the run off from the farmland drainage has silted up estuaries and rivers. Colchester silted up so the Romans moved the Business trading and port to London which had a bigger faster flowing river. The amount of silt is amazing even in the Thames. Norfolk was once a series of islands and the Wash went almost to Cambridge. I was at a village in Norfolk that had a beach once but is now miles inland due to silting up.

[@jonescrusher1]

Greart stuff as always Cleggy, could you do some stuff on making least cost paths?

[@liammclaughlin6204]

Awesome software 👍 is this what you have created or available to download? Amazes me how you know where the paths run great work 👏

[@WestCountryClegg]

Yes, it is

[@liammclaughlin6204]

@WestCountryClegg oh what's the name of it please

[@oldplucker1]

They also had a pole on Thames Barges to punt the boat up narrow rivers.

[@annieng86]

[@WestCountryClegg]

Absolutely

[@diggerdamian8374]
