my best day yet, better pics!!!!

[shaun7]

crusader took me on another one of his fields today, which was apparently a pretty bad one!

i got a saxon pinhead on my second dig
a small roman coin
medieval spectacle buckle
and then my favourite find of the day, a nice hammered coin! been waiting ages for one of these!

Re: my best day yet!!!!

Belt her one! Get her in line. Anyone who helps you and delivers you a tiny photo of 2.3kbytes !!!
should get whipped! (and not the whipped that you like!).

I think its time that you get yourself a digital camera Shaun! There are darn good ones that
you can buy (used) that don't cost much at all. You don't need camera's with 16 million pixes
either! And if you want to remain letting your moinlaw to do the work ask her to increase the bits
and bytes and use a macro setting. I wrote the other day a message about how to use macro
settings, if you want to read it go to my profile, current messages and you will find it somewhere...

NOW for the good news from you! (Saving that for last!)...

YIPPIE!!! You finally put it to Cru and Cru-Dad, skunked them! That is great news. And to read
Cru's messages that he and Cru-Dad were so jealous of you they even went back and pounded
the ground again, for double the time that you did there, and found LESS wonderful things!!!!

I'm just proud to know you Shaun! And now the stuff will really begin to flow your way I am sure.
Cru and Cru-Dad will become more and more jealous in time!

Re: my best day yet!!!!

You do realise I got work to do today... But seeing those finds has thrown my plans into chaos.

I am now about to throw some sandwiches and a thermos into my rucksack and head off to my ploughed field.

I hope you feel happy now, this is all your fault....

thanks woody
i can't understand what happened with the pics,they looked great on the camera

to be honest i'm just gratefull to cru for taking me on his land

being the one to nick the only hammered of the day(for a change) was just a bonus

although i think cru would have prefered the pinhead as saxon stuff is his fav

it was the hammered that put the smile on my face

Just really kidding around Shaun, you know that. Lots of fun! I know you are gratefull, me
too, just to be able to know the guy and his dad. They are both easy going guys and
great searchers. Pity they both are totally addicted to the hobby!

Just to straighten the facts a little.

Shaun & I - 6 hours without Dad.
I got home, Dad rang me & wanted to go out. I was knacked, but wanted to try for a hammered before the grass & weeds get out of control (they were already a problem) & the earliest we can get back there is Weds night. Still have a good days worth left & it will be a waste of time by the weekend because of long grass & thistles.
I also thought it would surprise Shaun, as he thought I had finished for the day & believe me in those digging conditions I was pretty finished (baking sun as well as concrete stoney ground).
In the days when I had a small collection, I may have not wanted to help others find things becuase I had none myself. Nowadays, I'm more happy that Shaun found it than me. Luck was on his side & the pinhead he nearly left as an iffy signal. It was an excellent result for one our of lowest priority fields.
When Dad first rang, he was pleased for Shuan as well (remember he keeps nothing himself). So no jealous thought in our camp, now if I placed him on a Gold Saxon coin I might feel a little sick

Yea I know Cru, just kidding around. Maybe it was good reading for Shaun! Knacked? Hmmm.. don't know that. Looked on Dictionary.com, but was not there. I guess you mean just counted out or layed out.... Then I know the feeling, too darn tired to do anything but the mention of silver gets you holding the detector again! Its a pity about the weeds though...

The field is as you say an excellent result, and bears keeping in mind for September or later, depending upon what will be on it. No I know your Dad is not jealous also, he just likes the detecting more than the stuff you find. I am much the same, the finding is my excitement. Many excellent finds I don't even research, just clean and put into microcrystal wax, just too darn lazy.

I have experienced you area's hard dry ground and know what you mean about bending shovels. And I also have the same feeling about detecting nowadays. I have also an enormous collection, always wondering what I want to find next, I have found almost everything that I have always wanted to find, so the pressure is off. Still have funny enough not yet found my gold Celtic, silver well, but always wanted (from the begin) a neat horse sitting in my display case. Maybe.... Already found my share of silver over the years, but always like to find it, especially the rare hammereds. They are such wonderful coins.

I realised you were kidding, just putting the background in.

Yes Celtic Gold was on my Wish List from day 1 & took me 20+ years!
