An examination of the entire field by metal detecting on 18 visits between 15th November 1999 to 16th April 2000. The findings on that occasion stimulated a return and re-examine to the field in 2003/4, in 2012, and in 2013, at times suitable between farming activities. The field now called Owl's Nest lies to the west of Keyworth village centre, in the group of fields in the angle between Bunny Lane/Keyworth Lane to the north, and Wysall Road to the west. It is approximately 5.5 hectares (13.6 acres), and is bordered on all sides by other field margins and, at its north-eastern edge by the Sewage Works (built in the 1960’s) It has been arable land since the 1950’s and is regularly ploughed, which is advantageous for repeat metal-detecting at intervals. Between 1999 and 2000, 87 metal artefacts were recovered. In 2004, 99 finds were recovered. In 2012, 47 artefacts were recovered. In 2013, 54 metal artefacts were recovered.
