More Grass Fields!

[CRUSADER]

Tried some new fields (Horse Paddocks), were ploughed 20 years ago, but didn't help us much! Picture 1 is the meager finds from exploring 3 different paddocks. I got a stallion gallop towards me then buck & kick, to get me out of his field, luckily I part own two horses with my missus, otherwise I might have shat my pants.

We moved on to a nearby grass field (normally with Cows in it but they are in the sheds for Winter), this was where we explored last week when Dad saved the day on the way to the car with a Crotal Bell, also Land-Magnet (on the way back to the car) got a nice hammered (his first), so we thought it maybe worth returning in the hope for another hammered.
Struggled again, I know its tough when I'm glad to see a decorated Tombac, then more pleased with the Livery.
I saved the day on the way back to the car with a complete circa 1800 Toy Cannon - been a few years since I've had one so nice, so the day was worth it.

Man, I envy you UK guys....Great finds.....BTW, what exactly is a "paddock"

smallish grass field used to hold livestock.

Crusader, you'll do what you normally do...clean house of the miscellaneous and then vaccuum out the rest of the good stuff. Good luck on the search. At least you can detect and dig. My digging is limited to the library right now. Hope it yeilds something when the ground thaws next month.

Research is key, as you know (well worth the time spent). I'm just lucky I have a full time researcher as part of the team, he's started his second year with Dad & I & has nearly gain permission for the same amount of land that took us 10 years! Also he's a great networker & now that I've taught him as much as I know (technique/research wise, not IDing) he's raking in top sites for us to hit after harvest. If we are going to beat last years totals, it will be mostly due to his talent in securing land for a team of 3!7


That's why Cru and Cru'dad have given me the tag 'landmagnet' i guess. teamwork is the key!

well done with the Saxon strap-end. Made the mud bearable, eh?

It was a wish list item that I only forefilled last year, now Dad & I have about 5
