Day 2 - Barley Field 4 - Good Day!

[CRUSADER]

Now the ground had dried over night we went to Barley field 4. On the first day we scouted the field & Dad mapped it with the GPS. I knew where I wanted to start, Dad wasn't sure, but what happened next neither of us could have guessed. I had put him on a row which went bang,bang,bang!

Three digs & 3 keepers in a row, straight off the bat!
Silver Sixpence 1877
Early Victorian Military Button (New variant, still to ID)
Silver Shilling 1891
3 digs & 2 silver I have never had a start like that! Yeah, first dig nice silver but not followed by another 2 hits!! Then he finished the day with a 1697 Sixpence. 3 Silver in 1 day!

We did 5 hours (10 man hours effort)

Condition were bumpy & tough but the Cortes did it again for me with a tiny hammered Silver (Henry III Long Cross)

3 Scrappy romans & bits. A good day which we needed after not much yesterday!

Silver machines you guys are!

I've done it twice, two early silver from back to back holes. Now I can't find one in a row!

That William sixpence would be a good dig here. Anything earlier than bullhead Geo. is usually Spanish.

Its a pretty good dig here in that condition. Normally worn smooth.
