Day 26 - Big Grass Field.....

[CRUSADER]

As it was a sunny evening I decided to continue the hunt & try & recover a bad weekend.

I hunted for 2 hours on my own & Dad joined me for the last 30mins (3 man hours).

After 2 hours all I had was a possible lead token. Dad joined the hunt for the last 2 runs before dark. He had only gone 30ft or so & found a 1914 silver Sixpence. Which would have been the run I ended on, & could have been a good end for me but he stole the glory Teamcrusader

Not old by UK standards but we will take it on hard times

We may do a couple of hours tomorrow

Crusader,

I'm glad the silver is still coming out of the ground for you! You're one of the most persistent and patient detectorists I know. You hunt frequently, and always manage to find something for your collection--whether it be relic or coin. Did you get any interesting relics this hunt?


Best Wishes,


Buckleboy

As always I post everything I keep (the coin was it ), the possible lead token turned out to be just lead. I did find some bits of brass furniture fitting but it went in the bin.

TeamCrusader rocks!

(the last run before day's end are often the best )

Good luck on day 27!

Thats awesome! Foreign coins are so cool!

Nice coin.
I was curious, do you grid out the fields you hunt?
If not, how do you go about covering the whole field?
I use the "Lawn mower" method.

300metre strips with 4 flags. I leave white stones where the flags were to pick up where I left off.

Mate...I know you like to Finnish a field then strike it of the list but 26 days on that grass field would have had me pulling my hair out would you have not been better of spending the time searching for new land, I no what your reply will be be to this but the reason I say this is because earlier in the season my detecting partner and I went through a similar spell to you were we were finding very little so rather than waste time on unproductive fields we spent the next three weeks travelling round clocking up hundreds of miles which eventually paid of for us

my dad died a few years back. I would gladly let him steal every find I ever made just to have him back.

very nice finds keep up the good work.
