Is that the bloke who keeps reminding everybody that he is a farmer? He mentions it on every show he appears on.
I baulked when he said he finds things like barbed and tanged and leaf shaped arrowheads 'often' in his fields. Hmmm.

He also seems to buy an inordinate amount of bulls.

Anyhow, good luck with your fieldwalking. I think you'll probably know when you happen across the real thing. My own small collection is split into definites, maybes and probably nots. Scrapers can be the most difficult to be sure about, but I found a couple of knives/blades a few years back and there was no mistaking the working on those.

If in doubt, record the location (do not remove anything from the area of a scheduled monument) and take your finds along to your local PAS person who will be happy to identify it for you.
