Alan Baxter found a medieval ring in a farmer's field in Fife , Scotland .
Metal detectorists need to ask for permission from landowners to search on their land.
He has now found more than 500 pieces ranging from the Bronze Age to the medieval period.
The highlight of his haul was a hoard of farthings from the reign of 15th Century Scottish King James III .
Mr Baxter said a field could be full of medieval items, but detectors were not going to find them if the crops were too high.
"You could go in all the fields on the right and left along the M9 from Falkirk to Edinburgh and there would be nothing in them apart from modern Victorian stuff or Georgian stuff," he said.
