Dump Field 2 & New Land hotspot........

Started close to home on a 1920s dump. I was after Military WWI capbadges & buttons, we had many off here last year.

Every swing has 3 signals (rubbish mostly), but we cherry picked for nearly 2 hours. I only got 1 shoulder badge or lapel badge but at least its a new type 'MGC' (not sure what it stands for)

Then it was off in the car for a 45 min drive to the new land.

Yes, a very standard one. Still trying to work out the top right item on that photo, I've forgotten was it is for.

I would have agreed if we were going back there but Dad has family around & I will probably finish the Hill Top Field with 5 roman bronzes :wink:

Good news, just got a phone call & Dad can make it

Although we have effectively hit the most productive area. There will be the odd coin & an outside chance of a nice silver, we shall see.

So rested up your arm and now swinging along! Great finds, like the bottles. What is that thing on the 4th photo dump field 2 on the bottom right side? It is a hanger of some sort with E T on it, a religious crown, a cross and a shield. Hmm... what is that?

The glass marbles were I guess inside some of the bottles that got broken up, the marbles that act as a stoppers.

Furthur down on your new land hotspot, what's that thing on the top right hand side, a sort of wierd hanger thing...?

I love your 'AS', still need to find my first one. If you find one of those you know not too many people are searching there, how can you miss it...? Is that your whatzits?
