Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Went to a Wheat Stubble Field which is a Roman Site we were interested in completing what we call 'proving the limits'. Basically finding the extremes of the Roman Site by gridding in every direction until the finds totally run out. This is our 3rd year on this site & we are now happy that we have proved the limits with the last 4 Roman Coins we found. This means after a deep plough we will concentrate on the hotspot & no worry how much further the finds might extend.
WWII 'ARP' - Air Raid Patrol Button
Victorian Navy Button
Flowered Tombac Button
Nice complete large 17th Century Button with drilled shank.

This took 3.5 hours & on the way home Dad suggested a 30 mins hunt on a ploughed & rolled field, I disagreed & said to do the opposite one which was in stubble. Glad I did as I somewhat saved the day with a nice Medieval Buckle, a type I have never found complete ;D

Lovely buckle!

You're back early :-\
 

I'm curious,
Do you donate any your finds to local museums for education? :dontknow:
I see a huge amount of Banners under your avatar and no Honorables.

You have some found some great things that should be there in my opinion.

Keep up the fine work. You are a detecting guru. :notworthy:

I've lent 4 Museum Cases full of stuff to the Local Museum, of which I'm a member of the committee.

Yearly displays at Adult Learners Events, plus other displays.

I have done talks in local schools & have lent countless pieces for educational purposes.

I have found & returned my fair share of Wedding Rings.

Plus plenty of lost farm equipment, returned.

I made sure a 'unique to date' Treasure Item named by the British Museum after our town name was kept local by taking a fraction of its market value, I think I do enough to give back to the local community.

Maybe none of this is Honorable enough for Tnet :dontknow:
 

that is a sweet buckle!!!!! MR TUFF

Hmmm, those tractors and combines must have taken you all day to dig! :laughing7:

I knew you supplied the local musuem but I didn't know the depth of your contributions. If you didn't get a "Thank you" before, you can have one from me. I love knowing history and learning as the result of my hunts. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

Great finds! Love the buckle,
Keep up the great work with your community!
especially the children,
You have Honors from me.
