For me which i shared with @chalkspring.bsky.social is i find it in the trenches in woodland where the leaf litter is deep, i then move all the fresh stuff and sieve the well rotted black layer of leaves seems to work well.

I can see an old record for East Sussex in the early 90's. This record is for West Sussex.
