Exploring a new field...

[CRUSADER]

This is a field we have never tried, its not on the hit list but it was available because of a failed & sprayed off oilseed rape crop. The field next door we had crossed off the list but it did have a couple of Roman signs that gave us hope in this field. Although we got 2 Roman Nails the nearby site must be on land that we can't search. It was a really tough field & after an hour I was happy to finally hit the sixpence...lol
It wasn't until nearly 2 hours in that I got a medieval buckle that triggered the gridding which found the 2 hammered. We came away from that one thinking we had a lucky escape, this field is another cross off.

4 Hours:

Bent up Lead-alloy Medallion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (1897)
1929 Sixpence
Ed I Bury St Edmund Mint (Dads find)
Ed III Durham Mint (mine)
4 Medieval Buckles
Its good to get a couple of the more unusual mints for the 2 hammered.

Not sure what you getting at, its not a job its a hobby. As I never sell anything, its about the History & the collecting/being outdoors. The only items I've had to sell were just too expensive to keep, ie. I shared 50/50 with the landowners.

Oh, I'm just on about meself. When I hear 650 fields, that's just an incredible number of fields! Let alone trying to get through all of them in any time frame.

I guess I'm just saying that like any addiction, this one can become just one more job to do. Not that you do, but I've experienced it and have seen others who have done it and are still. LOL

"I'm not addicted! I can quit any time I want!" LOL

Enjoy your finds immensely, Cru'! Keep on keepin' on!

Its just the word job or work is a dirty word & not a good old mud dirty..lol When it becomes work, I've lost the plot, this is a good addiction that keeps me off work & the streets.

Pretty nice silver take away on this hunt - and yes, there's nothing like being out in the dirt- with a real chance at finding cool relics
or excellent coins ! I've felt like I had a successful day out if I find a "mercury" dime or a few wheat pennies .
