We normally manage about 3.5-4 hours in those conditions but it feels like your legs are being pulled off at the knee :laughing9:

Sometimes the spade is useless & we just use our hands :wink:

Also you sleep well that night :tongue3:

Still at least you got a couple of good finds :headbang:

Fun in the mud, Great old Coin :hello2:

Cool coin. Bronze? Maybre MidEastern, judging by the fort showing? Just WAG by me though.....
Get back there when the weather allows. Seems you have a great place to dig.

Interesting little coin

look forward to the ID

Have had some good days in those type of conditions $:-\$ for me the worst part is the amount of mud, that sticks to the bottom of the search head $:-\$ does'nt half way the bugger down :laughing9:

Now thats cool! :thumbsup:

cuzcosquirrel · Mar 15, 2011

Yeah, looks like the blanca. I think I found one of those on the beach opposite a historic wreck site. Only thing still on it was some of the border ticking and a little design. I was pretty lucky.
