Cru team back together for today then I'll be detecting on my tod for most of next week.
Dad remembered one of the farmers mentioning that one of their crops was likely to fail. This was due to poor conditions this year & they put in the oil seed rape far too late. Indeed when we looked the whole crop had failed, I think they may try another crop early next year.
This field was where I found the nice Saxon/Viking Strapend early in the year & we have had a number of Roman coins in the past. We were trying land that had not been ploughed since we last did it but beggars can't be choosers.
We did 4 hours & I didn't get the broken hammered until I was on the way back to the car. It was too dark to see what I had but I guessed what it was & Dad used the GPS light to ID & plot it. So a lucky last find.
6 more Scrappy roman coins.
Over 4 pouches of iron (not including Dads 2)
I was comparing signals with the Cortes. Dad heard most of the signals with the Cortes but what I was impressed about was the tiny Medieval 'barrell' mount (sexfoil) (right of the broken key). It gave a sweet signal on the XP but a very iffy signal on the Cortes.

Tell them the first to be naughty this year will be swapped for an XP. One of them is bound to crack under the pressure.
