I did some research some time ago & asked my newbie friend to look into it. He came back with permission & today told me the Wheat had been harvested. He could not make it, but Dad & I went out for 2 hours.

We had never done this field, so we tracked down the lead :wink: After finding it, we just did the tracks as the stubble was terrible. Dad had 3 roman coins before I had another find of a lifetime!

Celtic Gold Stater:
South Ferriby Type 45-10BC - My oldest coin (Dad has one Roman Silver from 48BC), so not the teams oldest ::)

Horse with six sided star.
Obverse die of Apollo which has been used until completely obliterated, & the books quote 'some show almost plain obverse' - which this is!

3rd Gold Coin of the Year - Words are now difficult to explain the year I'm having :o

Also a Todur Book Clasp
1723 Irish Halfpenny - looks good when wet, can read it all - not had this date
4 Roman Coins
Bronze Slag
Very Large Victorian Fire surround - I think :dontknow: Big enough to think the site has not been hit to hard, if at all!

Drunk is a good time to daydream. :D I do it all the time. :drunken_smilie:

By the way, I have always wondered and I'm sure it has been asked before, what is your avatar?
I have searched the web and can find similar but not that exact pic. Is it viking?

Cru, I can't believe this. I am just a newbie, but 2 things you don't run out of are batteries and booze, well there are also 1 or 2 other things as well but we won't mention them now ::)

I guess the banner is down for repair. I have seen some very good banner posts lately that didn't make it. I hope it's back up and running soon. :tongue3:

Yeah, that's a nice touch. I know I appreciate the U.S. nickel as a reference.

Oh, I am awe struck over TWO gold coins in a week. Dang, you are a very fortunate man. The best parts is that you show us what you find. It's like reading a history book, only better. Thanks again for sharing the story and great pics.

I want to be you. Seriously, you never stop to amaze me. Love your attitude, too. Maybe that's the key.

Can't you just seed the ground for Shaun, just once?

Well, once you're on top of the world where else will you go?


Unbelievable.


Send the next gold my way, if it's one of those "new" 18th or 19th c. ones.
