Weather was superb to hunt for this time of the year :
So I visited two fields today that I already had permission before and where I had found some 1800's token and a nice bale seal.
Not too much targets and after trying to find another site in the big field (didn't happened !) , 3h had already passed and all I've got was a small musket ball and a weird curve tree or arrow shaped copper thing. With some engraving on it... (now I know it is an escutcheon !!)
So I had a small lunch and decided to go back to where I found my William III shiling and Geo II - III coins.
Tried again to look for other sites in theses fields without luck and returned to the main site. Not much, a nice clock key (I believe) and then I had a chat with a neighbor and got perssion to hunt his field. I rapidly found a coin, but seems to be complety toasted with any marks visible....
Got a couple of cents and on my way back I hit an interesting patch : 3 part a shoe buckle, a 1906 LC, small flat button and an iffy but repetable signal.
I dug it and saw a very thin metal disc, but I rapidly saw nav REX on outside and so I knew it was a french coin ! (my first one)
better pic :
when I said thin, I mean it !
1739-1752 Louis XV Double sol :
and all the rest :
lucky to have found 3 big parts of that shoe buckle :
thanks for watching !
