In September, there is going to be a major project involving metal detectorists from all over Europe (at the moment without Bonkers Britain) to investigate the distribution of material from Europe's largest Medieval land battle, the Battle of Grunwald (Tanneburg) of 1410 ('Dr Nowakowski: odkrycie grobów rycerzy spod Grunwaldu prawdopodobne', PAP Nauka w Polsce 02.03.2014) directed by archaeologist dr Piotr A. Nowakowski.The invited detectorists are from Denmarki, Norway, Poland and Lithuania and they will be working alongside a team from Łódź university. Finds will be plotted by GPS, and the search patterns of the detectorists themselves will be plotted by the same means to enable the pattern of their finds to be related to the intensity of search. The huge area covered by the battlefield and the areas where skirmishes took place does not allow the use of gridding.
