Edges of fields.....

[CRUSADER]

Had the day off so decided to try a field that had cows in it. It was a medieval ridge & furrow type & was next too some of my fav fields. I tried for about 1 hour & after digging a couple of modern buckles & a very deep 1861 Penny I decided to try the edges of the fields next door.

Spent 4 hours going around the edges of the fields, swinging my head in between the planted beans without damaging them. It paid off with a couple of OK finds:

Hammered Halfpenny of Edward III (I think, haven't looked it up yet)
Roman coin of Gallenius AD218-268 - Reverse type I need
Pleased with the complete buckle
Neolithic Flint Scraper - 5000BC
bits...

A better 5 hours today, however I have done all the edges so its back to grass tomorrow.

Nice work there Crusader, you guys pull up some nice old stuff over there. Just curious, what is the oldest coin that you have ever dug ?

Great finds, wtg! You are lucky to have so much history over there.
Have you ever dug a bomb or grenade? or bits of planes etc?

That's great Crusader!

Not much like that around these parts, but I'll keep looking!

Thanks for the nice post.

No bombs or grenades. Lots of 50cal live rounds.

I have dug several parts of a US Phantom.

 

[AKiwi]

so what do you do with the live rounds? are they still dangerous? or is it that they haven't been fired and are inert?
