Digging in England

[Rubka888]

Wow. It is amazing over there. No trash, clean digging, and on every field you can find Celtic, Roman, Medieval, and Georgian. Buttons everywhere. I was a little kid in a candy shop! One day, I found 5 coins before lunch and the newest was from 1695! My first silver find was a Medieval silver brooch that was reported to the British Museum as treasure. Then, in the next hole was a King Edward I Hammered silver! Edward the Longshanks. It was quite a sight to behold. The 3rd day I found 4 silver coins and the dates were 113 AD Roman Silver, 1247 AD Henry III Hammered, 1914, and 1917. Quite a date spread. One guy in my group found 6 hammered that day and said that they found 34 hammered in the same field in one day last year! Crazy. I found so many KG's, hammered copper farthings, WW II bomb shrapnel, 1600's crotal bells, and buttons. One day I found 46 buttons! I got 2 1400's lead tokens that were used as change for silver pennies. Lots of bale seals and musket balls. The last day I got a Elizabeth I hammered silver which was nice and 2 more Roman coins. Also got a Medieval Spur which I think is so awesome. I had so many finds that I couldn't take pics of them all. I will have to wait for my export pics to come in to show you properly but here are a few for now. I hope you enjoy. It was a trip of a lifetime for me :045:

It's posts with finds like this and especially written like this that make my green eyed jealousy monster come out. Great hunt!

Wonderful finds! Congrats!
The only time I went a couple of years back, the leader parked the van by a covered hole and I fell into it. Ruined my leg and the rest of the trip.
Cheers to a great hunt.

What a blast! All the disclaimers in the world that followed your post can't take away the fact that those fields even exist. One KG in a day in a New England field is not a horrible day. Hopefully I can get over there before every joint in my body is made of titanium and I can't even bend over!

Seen and met many in their 70/80's and there's even one member that is 92. In the fields everyday during his hunting period over there, now if that's not inspiration for all us sods that whine about our aches and pains nothing is. It keeps me believing that this hobby keeps us inspired and alive to dig another day.
Finding a treasure like the OP did, now that's just a huge bonus.
