Oh Black Friday was a dark day lol
As usual, me and Iron Patch hit the copper trail in search of something to put in our pouches. Pretty much a day like any other, we tried a couple of old sites looking for leftovers, and that was a flop. We travelled around here and there, sadly the property owners we were looking for weren't available to talk to; and a few other places we looked at were not suitable for detecting today. We put a few kilometers on the car trying to get a place to swing.
Half way through the afternoon we finally got on a site that was surprisingly easy to find, it was two steps into the field ,we detected for a while! Now here's the "great" part, it was full of crap!So many pieces of tiny flakes of brass and copper which sounded great in the headphones but were just pitiful when you got them out. So many brass/copper nails!Normally in a hunt you might see one or two, but I was 'nailing' them all over the place, and had quite a few at the end of the day.Relics were few today, I got a musketball, a few flat buttons and only two and a bit coppers; nothing too old or exciting.The only thing that brightened my day was a small little piece of what would have been a stunning silver shoe buckle, I didn't get any other pieces or see anything else worth mentioning.
It was a gorgeous day for detecting today, and most likely will be the last day like this for the rest of the season. Snow forcast for tomorrow and freezing temps for the next few days; hopefully we will get a time or two before the copper trail peters out under the blanket of winter.
