I finally got my finds from my last detecting trip in England. Every trip so far I've found some firsts for me. I'm sure the detectorists that live and hunt there will probably yawn, but, they're exciting finds for me. The firsts this trip are highlighted by my oldest find (a 4000 year old Bronze Age axe head), my first complete and working crotal bell from the 1700's, a Roman fibula piece, 2 16th century Tudor buttons, and a 1634 Charles 1st hammered rose farthing. Other interesting finds (for me anyway!) are a 17th century copper trade farthing, an 1859 Victoria silver Gothic Florin, an 1819 George III silver shilling, and a 1926 George V silver 5 cents from Straits Settlements.....a place I'd never heard of before. Found 4 more Roman bronze coins, but they're pretty toasted. A few more hammered silver coins and fragments. One of these trips I'll find a real nice example, but, it keeps me coming back. Lots of greenies, lead, and buttons of course! Pictured are about 1/4 of the total number of buttons I found. Most are broken and get tossed. Also pictured are misc items including a lead bird and a horse head! You just never know what you will find. The first photo is a group shot including a few recent local hunts where I found some silver rings, and a few U.S. coins. Highlights of those are an 1891 V nickel and a 1914S buffalo, and 4 wheaties.
