Day of Rest........

[CRUSADER]

After 4 days straight of detecting it was time to give the body a break. Looked on Tnet in this morning & got my battle gear on....... I can rest when I'm dead

Returned to the Bean Field which is about my only option on my own & on the bike.

Pulled out 5 scrappy Romans, 4 of which in an area I had already covered.

Got a broken Seal Matrix (late Georgian/early Victorian), its hard to see but its a face forward with 2 faces rippling out from the left & right (ie 5 faces in all).

I was very pleased with the button & then bang another hammered. Edward I, London Mint (Common type). It came from the mid section of the field where we get very few finds of any date, so it was a susprise.

A good day for only 3 & a bit hours

Your break was good enough to put you in the
right place for some cool finds.

Crus, maybe a donkey or two cows and a two wheeled wagon is more your pace, you could detect the fields and plow them at the same time with the theme of Happy Trails playing on your MP3 player piped in over the headphones between targets. I admire you as a detector but you sound like a sissy and a pain in the butt for a son. Your dad has to drive you to far away fields or you drive your two wheel donkey mobile down the road to detect. What gives here? I have always thought you are a knowledgeable young person but you have been young on the forum for too long and I really wonder why you are not independent. HH and have a very Happy Christmas, Mike

I could tell you plenty about independence but that's a past life. (& still very independent)
(I have had a car & a moped)

You tell me why I should bring another car onto the road, when my Dad has 3, Brother 1 & Sister 2. I would never work more than a 15mins away from where I live (life is too short for travelling to work). I have no need for my Dad's transport, he drives me as he detects. Without him I can cycle to 80% of the land I wish to do. Mobilephones (don't even get me started, you think these make you independent?). So slate me for being green.

If you want to start judging me go ahead makes no difference to me. I'm the happy one

I expect this from you

 

[Bavaria Mike]

Being green is cool, everyone should try to be a little! Life is too short to be peddling to fields though. Cars and cell phones have disadvantages but their advantages out way the disadvantages and yes they really do make you independent. What if you broke a leg while detecting? That would be a long crawl home! I can be bold, no tact and straight to the point sometimes, gets me in trouble, LOL. HH, Mike

 

[woody50]

nice hammered by the way!! you've outdone woody's prediction!

Only just, as this might be the last this year.

No way CRU. I know you, I am increasing my prediction to another two (thinking about three), maybe between Xmas and New Years. Might is a big word, Won't is better.

Very nice finds!

Understand were you are coming from Cru, you have posted some Amazing finds on here I think every one would agree, yet you seem not to have travelled very far to do so, I think this has limited you, if you were to travel a bit further a field, god only knows what you might have shown us, have you spent more time on certain fields that you wouldn't have because you were limited to the short distances that you could travel, I have to do a round trip of 120 miles to get to my sites, and yes there is detecting in my area but not as good

I tried to explain before, but I'll try again. I'm interested in preserving local history & not running about the country for gold. I would rather plot silver in the fields close by then chase gold elsewhere. Its not all about the money but the history & the increased picture that I'm developing for the locals & myself.

Many say I'm missing out. I think not. I'm happy & have never listerned to others opinions unless they were helpful to MY life & wellbeing. I'll stay happy & let others around me wonder why I do strange things

Plus, this year we have done the odd bit of travelling (1.5 hour round trip). Often came back thinking, why did we bother wasting that time travelling. Although we found some hotspots & Dad his Gold Coin, its not got the same buzz & plotting things down the street. We are developing the largest Detecting Survey in the local area, no-one knows or has as much information on the area than us. Thats why the Archies want our maps.
