As I have pretty much finished with the Roman Site (for now), & because I wanted to get a hammered I decided to try the stubble fields near my house.
The first one I tried was my 1st Fav Field, the second field was next door. I put on the 11" coil to see if I could weed out some deeper stuff, as I have hit this field hard in the past.
Some people (including myself) worry about losing sensitivity when using a big coil, however I will never worry again having found a Farthing of Edward I (circa 1280s). It was next to iron & a button, & I heard all three. I dug the button first which was a clear signal about 10"s from the mixed iron/silver signal, then I dug the hammered & left the nail under it. This machine is amazing!
These tiny coins are rare to find, I have only had 1 before.
Pleased with the patterned 17th century button which is a new type for the collection.
3 Scrappies
Broken up Roman Disc Brooch
Military Capbadge
Book Clasp
Most of a Couldron foot
Dated Lead Token 1765 (backwards 5), with a Windmill. Rare to get them dated, I only have about 5.
So a very successful 3.5 hours.
