Finds from the English countryside.

[Doug UK]

Managed to have a few hours out today between the rain showers.

Thanks for looking.....DougUK


Somerset Light Infantry insignia (Jellalabad)

Surface find, Penny of young Queen Victoria.

Button LHS, hand holding a dagger. RHS “Oxfordshire Constabulary “

Musket and pistol balls. Two on the left lost just after being made!

Top left is the normal amount of lead that I find. I keep it for two reasons, it means I will not find it again, but more important once a year I sell all my scrap lead and brass and donate the money to our local hospice.

Thanks, a little bit early in the season for the “old silver”, my fields are just starting to come on stream within the next two weeks. These fields in the photograph brought me the Iconographic ring this year, now subject of a Treasure Trove Inquest!..........DougUK

First I gotta tell ya, KILLER finds in my book, but what also got me so syked, is the button with the arm/dagger you found.. I was so excited to see that.. as I found a rossette here in nj months ago, only on mine, the hand was broken off and missing, so I have no clue what was in the hand on the one I found..but it certainly was great for me to see one almost exactly like mine...

keep on hunting and thank you too..

Thank you everybody for your kind comments on my finds.

I had what looked like an identical seal the other day, but on closer inspection the stars look to go in a different direction?

Direction doesn't really matter. If its the same design, its from the same place.

Thanks Crusader.

Bale seals is a subject I am not familiar with, I always give them back to the farmer when I go round to visit them.

Hello Doug , how can you detect with your ring on, I have to take mine off, are you left handed ?.

I manage it with a ring on both hands, & my recovery rate is quickier than Dad who wears none.

Have attached a photograph of the Somerset Light Infantry badge (rear), cant quite work out the fixing points? Plus a couple of Royal Artillery lapel badges.

Jellalabad Barracks was the home of the SLI until a few years ago. Now amalgamated with other infantry units.
