New field looks promising

hammered · Jul 24, 2011

I managed to get out for a couple of hours this morning on a new field just down the road to me. I met up with a couple of other detectorists and had a chat, a cup of coffee and also a good look at the new Xp Deus one of the guys was using, then walked on to the new field. Within 4 or 5 minutes I found the hammered coin, it looks like an Elizabeth 1st penny but could be a Mary. Then the Roman coins started coming up, a couple of them are even half decent. Lots of buttons, musket balls, buckles and other artifacts. As I say the field looks promising :laughing7:

. The other guys did well too, they found a few Roman coins and a decent dolphin brooch (Garrett GTI 2500). Any way here are a few pics

The whole collection

Reverse of the Bessy(?) Penny

Obverse of the penny

Obverse of one of the 2 good roman coins

Obverse of the other roman coin

Reverse of the same coin

The batteries ran out on the camera before I could finish the photo shoot, but I will try to remember to take some more pics tomorrow :tongue3:

I'm leaning more to it being a Lizzy penny now, but still a good find, for me :wink:

Thanks "H" :icon_thumleft:

. There are a few fields around here where you can bump into another detectorist every now and then, but it's not too bad. Most of the time I'm on my own 8)

There was a good range of finds and not too corroded, I'm going to try to get out there again tomorrow afternoon if I can :thumbsup:

thats some nice finds

HISPAN · Jul 28, 2011

Yes, you're quite reasonable when you say that ... where you can bump into another detectorist every now and then, but it's not too bad. ...although I prefer to hunt alone that I focus more on the task, but each has a different reason for hunt .

I remember the short film . :laughing9:
