A very busy day!!

Went out today to another new farm! The first place I tried was where I stayed as the finds started coming straight away

Loads of buttons, lead tokens, some interesting bits and what must have been a record coin day!

I know how you feel mate - these farmers work really quick - Sad thing is this time of year, there's more land that becomes available for such a small amount of time and the bloody days get shorter to get them done in!

I was trying to go as quickly as I could today because of the light

Thing was, the field was covered in lead (which I don't mind) and it slowed me down!

I don't know wich is harder, digging or swinging :dontknow:

Thanks Allen, when I told the farmer how promising the field was, he said I could have another go this weekend

Even though it is all planted, but I think it may cost me a couple of coppers ::)

Shaun, when I was a kid, this time of year I'd pour over the Swartze's toy catalogue. Now I pour over the Englishmen's finds which is even more exciting! You rarely disappoint and you haven't this time either!
