look no iron! old silver though!

[shaun7]

went out again today with crusader! i know now that if there is one hammered within a square mile he will get it

i didn't get any hammered again, but nearly! it was a 169* silver sixpence
also got a modern silver sixpence (1943)!
a 17th century token which crusader is trying to i'd for me
a small roman coin
a nice late medieval buckle, with a flower patern

and of course buttons

pics to follow!

Shaun7's unclean stuff.

It might be an Essex Boy Token: William Newman of Halstead, Essex. But lots of Newman's & only 1/4 of the way though the book. Does this fit?

 

[shaun7]

halstead does'nt fit looks to have an "or" in it

You two need a chaperone in the fields.

Nice finds!

I know what your thinking & no you can't be our chaperone

i feel like that every time i go with him

it really is sickening!

i had a pocket full of nails yesterday from work and was very tempted but that wouldn't slow him down anyway

the man is a machine, my arm is killing me from trying to keep up

Sorry Shaun, couldn't find the token. Went though every page, must have missed it. Still you have a date & one day it could be IDed. Unless you can make out the Villiage?

Nice finds Shaun, the silver IS increasing for sure. The hammereds will come along, just take your time.
Cru, the same as everybody, can miss things too, so there is always the chance......

Yeah, I miss plenty. However this field is virgin land & we are going over it for the first time. Finds are few & far between but its worth doing.

I know what you mean. Have had virgin land before (or at least that was told to us). Also good finds but scattered. Funny is that almost every time they seem to become better every year. Maybe luck or understanding the ground better who knows.

I have also came across land that didn't seem to have anything in it, although it was close to an ancient village and just had to have something. After a time I tested the ground, putting a hammered deeper and deeper into the ground. It was a funny color of red, and the hammered could not be found and disappeared after about a inch or so. Even brought a bucket of the stuff back with me to see what I could do with different detectors (PI and such), but nothing got through it. We have now found some things there, also hammered, but you have to move very very slow and have everything at max. That was the only time we were stumped as what to do...

I would love the luxury of going slow, its a 300 acre field, we have only touched it on the edges.
