Bad News Shaun7......

CRUSADER · Dec 30, 2008

We can't do the grass field as he doesn't want his cattle disturbed but we can do the 2nd Fav Field. I never realised that due to the wet conditions he never planted the Beans. So the stubble is still there (very soft from frost etc) & the weeds have been sprayed off. Its perfect conditions. So I hope your up for helping me find some Roman Coins tomorrow?

Had 12 Scrappies taking the total within 2 of 500, so will I make it before the years up?

(our target was only 300 this year but as we smashed it we wanted to round it off to a half century)

1933 Silver Sixpence
Nice Victorian Army Button
& bits....

I just heard Dad is back & might join me tomorrow. How my luck swings 8)

Remember, nothing has changed since Dad & I did this field (ie no plough), but the XP in all metal picks up every tiny piece & many on edge. The sixpence was 2 rows from the edge which I have covered at least 3 times!

Tomorrow our advantage is soft stubble & wet settled ground. You probably won't get masses off this field but at least you can practice with the Lobo on a field which could turn up any period!

Nice finds,the thought of some-one peddling their Penny-farthing bike down a country lane would be enough too scare anything. lol

Its not the climbing on & balancing with my detector & spade which it the problem its just the damn suspension down those bumpy tracks.

Just remember Shaun every detector has its limits and good points. And many of these points are different with every detector, so you can find things the other misses. We go to land many times where you can see holes all over the place, and just find stuff they have missed. So it can be done... The silver coin was in soil already searched by I guess we all.....
