The times are not correct!

The times are almost certainly correct; however, what you may be seeing are times displayed in a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, you should change your profile setting for the timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. So if you are not registered, this is a good time to do so, if you pardon the pun!

Books – These come second in importance to your detector – you will need them to learn how to identify and understand what you find – and also to help you research your intended area of detecting.

Most central libraries will have a good selection of local history and landscape archaeology books – these in turn will give you further sources in their bibliographies for you to follow up on. A number of libraries also hold maps in stock.

These volumes which began in 1899 are a mine of information on parish histories. They are not cheap to buy , however your library should hold a copy for your county.
You can read more about them online at http://www.englandpast.net/

This is a digital library of text and information about people, places and businesses from the medieval and early modern period which also has a section of online Victoria County History volumes (not all counties) which you can access here http://www.british-history.ac.uk/subject.asp?subjectid=23

These may give locations of sites which if not scheduled may be worthy of attention. Most libraries and record offices hold copies of local journals.

Maps and plans are a very important source of information about the development of a place, or an area, through time. Enclosure and tithe plans, mostly made during the period c. 1750-1850, often provide the best map of a village or neighbourhood prior to the appearance of large-scale Ordnance Survey plans. Many local record offices also hold copies of such maps. see here for links to online maps and mapping software
