:hello:

Getting out this time of year is a real bonus for me, so when I drove past the Church Field were I found my Gold Stirrup ring, I wasn't going to pass up on a opportunity such as this, even though it was a pasture field:BangHead:

I have been on this field a couple of times in the past, but not with the XP Deus, this was just a two hour search and the copper coins soon made a appearance, around the four to six inch depth, so I was pleased with this, even though they were Edwardian, and a Vicky Silver chucked in just to keep me on my toes...good fun. So when a shallow signal showed up just under the grass roots, I thought silver foil...but no, and to my amazement a Edward 111 Half Groat, and full flan at that, with a lovely portrait.:hello2:


Met a few of the locals as there was a church meeting going on, they showed some interest as to what I was doing, one telling me a friend of here's had lost a silver earing a long the footpath that ran through the field, I found that and returned it to here.

Not bad for two hours, and getting to know the new machine :thumbsup:

A great short hunt.
3 Silvers, nice condition on the oldie too !, and a return job.
And a handful of copper. Still lots of potential there yet, I bet.

Thanks Rick...the farmer has talked about ploughing this field again in the near future. I'm sure there are plenty of hammered and bits to be had. But until then we will be hitting it with a GPx as soon as it's damp enough.:thumbsup:

Forgot to mention the hat badge, that's a very good find in my book, I've only managed one of those so far.

Fantastic hunt for a visited field, I'm sure when they plough more will come up.
I really love the badge, it's in great shape!
And of course the hammy, full flan and everything anyone would want.
Congratulations!

Great finds! I am coming to hunt in England this fall and can't wait! One of my regular hunting buddies talked me into it and then another member of our club joined in and is coming too!

It will be a lot of fun to find really old coins.

The groat is spectacular and finding/returning the earring was very kind of you. Wishing you continued success at that locale!
