My farmer had harvested some potatoes on one of his fields and said I could detect in those areas. So, after watching some rugby I decided to go and hit the field this afternoon. I only managed about 2 "hammered" hours ( 5 Cru minutes 
) before it started to rain too heavy to carry on. Never the less, I'm happy with my finds, and the field looks like it might be a good one 
A lot of musket and pistol balls, some are still in soak.
A handfull of coins, including a Charles 1st farthing (top), a jetton and a 10 Centimes of Napoleon 3rd 1861
Today's buckles
When I saw this in the hole, at first it looked like a Roman brooch, so I'm including it cos it fooled me
Some of the usual suspects
A little bronze open work (front)
(back)
Small lead weight, about an inch square. Could even be a gaming piece.
A piece of silver scroll work
The hallmark, somewhere between 1776 and 1896. The latter date is more likely, but the workmanship is quite crude.
Another mark
The biggest piece of shrapnel I have found yet.
Anyway, thanks for looking
