A clay-based field can feel like concrete in the summer, but come the autumnal and winter rains can be transformed into a mini Somme environment! Even fields that are still covered in decaying stubble can result in the development of what I call ‘Moon Boots’.
These moist or saturated clay-based soils can result in the detectorist carrying around many extra pounds in weight attached to their wellies. I’ve seen people wobbling about, swinging their arms, and on occasion totally lose their balance in such conditions.

ROOKIE REVIEW
Given the success the Raiders had with their 2019 draft class, expectations coming into 2020 were that general manager Mike Mayock and coach Jon Gruden would be able to come at least reasonably close with their new batch of draftees.
