Fav Field........

[CRUSADER]

After the most stressful week at work. I needed to unwind in the fields. As I only had a short time until sunset (1.5 hours) I cycled to the nearest field (even though last time I only got 1 scrappy in 2.5 hours).

I'm happy with the result today:

Musket Ball
Medieval Sexfoil (Belt Decor)
Small Dandy Button
Oblong Tudor Button - Plain top - first one I have had, the others were flower top. Always happy to get a new button & I like the tudor types which are crude but functional.
17th Century 'nipple' button - Civil War period
18th century Clog Clasp.

Tomorrow I will go back to the 2nd fav field.

no idea on that book but I guess its out of print for that price. I had to paid £170 for Van Arsdell's book on Celtic Coins (normally goes for £250-£350)

Nice finds for a quick hunt. You are right about detecting being therapeutic - definitely helps to clear the mind. And then to be buzzed by a Spit....heaven!

I had an OMG moment when I looked up the price of the buttons book as it is selling for up to $625 on the second hand market.
