With options becoming scarce i went to a field close to an old village first settled by Romans. Had a pretty good day with temps in the low 40s strong wind and no rain. Weather i love for detecting.
Not much special to tell other than it looks like i stumbled over a skirmish site with musket balls, French regiment button and canteen top.
Some roman scrappies too...

Farmers here are instructed to do so to avoid erosion. :BangHead:
Some seed grass to make one cut hay in spring before the corn comes in.
We have some that do the odd hay/grass but the rules here are; if you do more than 2 years grass it has to stay grass. Then you need to apply for a change of use back to cultivated land!
 
Youe so lucky to live where you dig old history. I especially like the canteen or cast?
Great job!
