Failed Crop Area No.2 - Day 2,,,,,,, then tried elsewhere

CRUSADER · May 2, 2009

Spent 2 hours on the failed crop area, soon got bored after only 2 scrappies. Decided we would finish this area tomorrow & go elsewhere.

Dad did as least find a nice little Tudor Button.

Railway Hill.....

One of the last places we have right now is an area of fallow land near a railway which the owner once ploughed but has left to go wild. We have covered it once but decided the XP might pluck a few things out we missed.

Did OK really with a Billion Ant. of Postumus AD265 - this counts towards our Roman Silver count :thumbsup:

Good 17th Century Spur Buckle
Nice circa 1812 Military button - Regiment unknown & a new type to the collection

William III sixpence (slightly bent for a love token, like the one you didn't find

), there is a blank silver shilling as well.

As long as you find something that will keep you busy with Google for an hour when you get home, it is a fine day.

The only better day would be finding a gold coin, or eating the best tuna melt ever.

Little need for google, my google head comes up with an instant 'I'm feeling lucky' response in 'real' time field hunting mode.

How do you do that?

In 2.jpg is that a small silver (or silver plated) button inside the large buckle?
What is your Jeton count up to now? You seem to find one of those each hunt.
Another question I would like to ask is about your token (lead) count. I never
really find those...

Nice finds! Was the area near the railroad the place I know? Hard ground?

Its the top of an 18th C Tombac button.
Don't count jettons, but probably about 30ish, same with the Lead Tokens.

No, its further along to the next villiage, its very stoney.
