Lucky to be Digging...Getting Targets!

[romeo-1]

This is the worst time of year for detecting in this area. Crops are in and the grass is high. I've got to look for hay fields that have been mowed and hope for the best. Got on one this morning. There were targets at least.

 

[RelicMedic]

Good to see you got out! Nice crotal bell!

 

[The Patriot]

Yes you are right...the season for grass and planted fields crept up fast....at least your digging still...maybe something nice will pop up..

Is that a ram rod thimble I see?
I you can get out with Rick and me tomorrow I promise you better finds.

As long as there are targets like that you have the chance at something good!

I see what looks like the top of a lip stick tube, and I don't see any cuts for that to be a crotal bell, good finds anyhow, and something really good might just pop up.

Nope...a ramrod thimble would have made my day...just a lipstick tube.

I've always wondered what the cylindrical lead weights were used for...loom weights?

Def. a Crotal bell,and appear's to be broken Gag loop.I wonder what the oval shaped things were as well?You dig them often?

 

[Iron Patch]

Yep this time of year beggars can't be choosers.

 

[Evolution]

Nice hunt. I know what you mean with the high grass. Very frustrating. I like that little crotal bell.

What is the circular thing at the bottom of the pic? Looks like an airplane.

I stand corrected. Do these look similar? My friend found these and they turned out to be fishing net weights.

I have no idea what it is...has two attachment points on the back but I don't recognize the motif.
