Day 1 - Church Field.......

[CRUSADER]

Finally got on the church field after the pheasant season, still had to chase off 3 blokes with shotguns going for rabbits. :P
It a very overgrown field and has a footpath leading to the church which is not far away. Must have been used for 100s of years but we got little sign of that. Started on the high ground nearest the church & worked our way down the hill.
After a 5 hour (10 man effort hunt);
Oldest find was a 16th century lead cloth seal.
Lots of Victorian coins
Geo Coins
Nice seagul? brooch
Walking stick end
Other bits.......


Pretty much as I expected but until we finish you never know what might pop up.

I was hopeful of a hammered at the start but I'm not so sure now. Cover the land & tick it off the list

Nice range of finds there its good to find Victorian coppers although fairly common you must had found loads by now the thing that allways amazes me is when you pinpoint dig a hole and low and behold a coin sits there.

I plan to learn my machine really well before I join a club then hopefull off to the fields we go.

Yeah, a bag full.

I know what you mean, a couple of times today I dug the plug at the perfect depth and the coin was just laying on the bottom waiting to be picked out.

yes it a fantastic feeling when every thing works out right but other times trying to hunt a tiny target in a load of dirt sure can frustrate u

Got that today as well with the ting lead splatted rabbit bullets (half the size of a little finger nail). Do you use the smaller & smaller lump technique to find them? ie. splitting the lump and passing it over the detector, them halfing it & repeating.

is this the fifth quote already lol I use the spiltting method you describe plus if the earth is fine grab handfuls and pass that over the coil must remember to take the watch off the next time now that drove me nuts.

Still a good hunt Crusader, you just never know what will come up! I ran into a few pheasants while detecting in the UK, they sound like helicopters taking off and will scare the crap out of you, LOL. I hope to detect in the UK again some day, I really loved the culture there! HH, Mike
