As I promised, here are a few pictures of our finds in England. Many of the older stuff (more than 300 years) are still in England being authenticated and we should see them in the Spring.
This was a fantastic adventure, and I plan on returning next year. Jimmy Sierra and his crew put together a truly class act.
I have submitted a story to W&E, so these are just some other pictures of the items Rick (Detectodude) and I found.
As far as coins, we each found one silver hammered and both were Queen Elizabeth I sixpence. Mine is a 1574 and Ricks is a 1584. There were many newer coins. They are in the one picture together and include a King William copper, King George II 1734 half penny, 1806 King George III Penny, a silver 1811 King George III bank token 1 shilling 6 pence, 1862 Queen Vicotoria penny and some really nice buttons including a 45 Regiment and King George military button.
Some of the artifacts in the other pictures go back to about 1000 AD and include a viking or saxon strap end in the shape of an animal head, and lots of midddle ages finds from 1200 to 1400.
All in all it was just one fantastic trip. Thanks for looking.

Very nice finds and what a great experience for you. Sounds like a fantastic trip!
 
That's what is neat about this hobby. Free soveniers whenever you take a vacation. ;D :D

Very cool to find the really old stuff. Just curious...is that stuff worth much?

You got some nice finds there lance.

That had to be a great experience with jimmy.

I've seen finds at clubs where guys went on that trip. That's a pricy trip but it would have been worth it.

The hammered silver coin is nice.
