More Hammered

Silver Searcher · Feb 13, 2010

After trying a couple of new fields from our new farmer, we decided to go back to the field that produced the Gold Sovereign 8) who wouldn't :wink:

I decided to cross grid the section that Michael had done yesterday, in the hope he might have missed something with that bloody thing he swings :laughing9:

... Fat chance of that :'(

I turned around and to see him bending over, he looked up and once again gave the knocking signal of another Hammered coin

again a short cross cut quarter

another thrashing on the cards I thought :laughing9:

I managed to winkle a Scottish Bawbee, and a few more Geo111 coppers, and a nice watch winder key, and then a broken Tudor clothes fastener. Michael meanwhile, going over a area I had just done got another hammered :'(

A nice Edward? this was now getting beyond a joke, that Minelab was going in the bushes :laughing9:

They were a few nice spindle whorls coming out of the ground, don't ever think I have seen more than this from one field, that's about eight now

just near the road there was a fresh part of the field, just over the electric fence that had been eaten off, so I stepped over the fence and had a signal straight away....a Hammered at last(Elizabeth1 Groat

) my seventh hammered of the year :headbang:

Michael's on nine, so I'm still playing catch up to the explorer

you found all that in one day? looks like tones of stuff in that blue bag

DMN · Feb 13, 2010

So that WHOLE bucket of of stuff was what you pulled from the field as well? Buttons, coins (I guess those are the 'scrappies' you and Crusader reference) and all the other miscellaneous odds and ends are from your one search? I AM impressed. No other keepers in the junk bucket?

The hammered looks good though. What type of Minelab is your nemesis using? And perhaps you need to go without him a few times and just randomly dig some spots to get the jump on him! :laughing7:

Michael uses a Minelab Explorer11, he gets more Hammered coins than me, but what I lack in quantity, I more than make with quality. I also seem to find more Artifacts(relics) than him :dontknow:

...the junk is from this year :thumbsup:

You had still a grand day in the field. A hammered and the do-dads would make me very happy. :icon_thumright:

What dreams are made of...

I don't think I will make 7 until Sep at my rate :-[

Land-Magnet & I will look around a new farm we have been trying for for some time. We needed a contract which went to a Belgium Legal team, its for 5 years but gets reviewed every year :tongue3:

The ariels are great with Iron Age & Roman activity plus plenty of past evidence from Archie digs etc. No-one has done it & with some effort it should pay off. Shame of it is, we can only look tomorrow as the whole farm with many many fields is ALL under crops

Hi SS, you and Michael are getting some nice stuff :icon_thumleft:

. I might be able to get out tomorrow if the fields have drained of a bit and if I do half as well as you I will be happy

.
