Over the years there has been some great pictures posted on Treasure Net of finds insitu or as you first put eyes on it , after a conversation I had with Kuger we thought it might be a good Idea to start a thread on it

Everbody can take part in this, pictures from past hunts, or from future hunts when you have one. Anything goe's within reason, (no pulltabs ) I will set things off with one you have seen many times...but my Best
It can also be none metalic..Like flints, Arrowheads finds

Button and Loop Fastener 1st century BC - 1st century AD
A button-and-loop fastener with a double-boss head and heavy ring-loop. The type is believed to be of native British manufacture, and made during the pre-Roman period or the early years of the Roman occupation. The bosses are recessed and pierced at the centre, and probably held coral or other decorative inserts. Their outside diameters are decorated with lines of pellets, moulded in relief, on opposite sides of each boss

Welcome great to see another UKer posting great stuff

I thought you might post that it wouldn't have survived another plough going over it, still eloudes me a decent H8

Thanks, you were the main (although not only) reason I started carrying a camera. You kept on at me for a while (in a positive way) & I was fairly stuck in my ways. I built my success on a speedy recovery & the coverage of large areas, helped by Dad. Photo's to me were a waste of detecting & digging time, however I now have a memory like above, which like your ring is true inspiration & was laughable with both Dad & I on our knees near a carpark with people in it. Talking about it now, relives the excitement we both had knowing it was a big hammered but never expect such a nice & rare coin as a H8 when flipped over, hard to keep my hand steady

It can be a burden I know to carry one, but just sometimes that once in a lifetime momment comes along....no Camera..no momment

Shaun7 took these for me, I resisted the temptation to pull the nice shortcross out. Nothing much better that a rim of a hammered or gold or better gold hammered

 

[umrgolf]

all you need is one of those light backpacks with string straps... drinks, cameras, toilet paper

 

[hammered]

I knew I had some more sort of insitu pics, I just had to look thru my laptop pics folder. The first one is my second "hound and berries" sceat, the ground was very crumbly and I think it makes it look staged. The second one is a hammered, but I can't remember which one , I promise to get better .


hammered

 

[shaun7]

This is my favourite hammered so far...the Lizzy Sixpence

You can just about see it in the lump

Not sure I agree with that I don't like to see graves disturbed .....unless it was due to being destroyed by a building or road

Looks like surface finds, don't your detectors go any deeper than 1"? Just kidding, all the finds shown on this page blow me away. Some great finds guys!

 

[artyfacts]

When I found this I almost just plucked it out of the soil. Glad cell phones have cameras. One 1867 Indian Head. Arty

I like to photograph in situ findings that demonstrate several things.
1 - That we are not nocturnal hunters.
2 - The soil type that appeared in the find. (Wet, dry, etc)
3-The preservation when it was found.
My total Insitu pics....
