Hi Guys and Gals,

Well, went detecting this field across the road from an old fort which is near my work. Finally found what I have been looking for. Some of this stuff was even laying on the surface, and was found without a detector. Both my friend and I was over the moon with this stuff. We have found so much in one day, and what I am showing you today is only my share of the booty.

I also want to say a very big thank you to all of you for the encouragement to stick it out, this has been a lot of patience. But I think the tide has now turned, and we will carry on finding.

1st Pic: Horse shoes, nails, spike, and mouth organ reed.
2nd Pic: Watch backs (one was gold plated), glass bottle tops, and sterling silver 92.5 whatzit with hall mark which I have found to have come from Birmingham, England, and was made in 1894.
3rd Pic: Bottle and pieces of glass.
4th Pic: Close up of bottle.
5th Pic: Kynochs No 2 Musket rounds and 2 Lee Metford rounds (the only British rounds).
6th Pic: Matini-Henry soft rounds which were from the 1st Boer war, and the first part of the 2nd (+- 1881). And 3 hard case Martini-Henry rounds which superceded the soft case.
