Royal Artillery Regiment Cap Badge - Grenades & Pennies!

A few more hours on the 'Grenade' fields and guess what? Yes, more Grenades and bullets:

But before those I found this excellent Royal Field Artillery Regiment Cap Badge WW1?

The gun on the badge is the 1871 9pdr Rifle Muzled Loader - the rammer can be seen to the left of the carriage wheel.

11 'modern' coins ranging from George III 1806/07 to Elizabeth II 1959

And a few other things - 'Love Locket', 'Buttons', 'Large Buckle Pin', etc.

Looks like the place is going to throw up some interesting things in time.
Best wishes,

Nice complete capbadge, just post WWI. The WWI types had a seperate wheel which spun freely with a pin in the centre. :icon_thumright:

Hey David,

The variety of things you guys pull from the ground never ceases to amaze me. Heck of a hunt! :headbang:

Definitely deeper - loving it - not so accurate on the 'pinpoint' though so having to dig wide as not to do any damage (therefore bigger hole) but that will improve in time.
Just loving it! Great discrimination and depth gauge, etc. Just wanting a bit more silver and perhaps 1 gold coin to test it out on before the years out!

I don't think 1 gold coin is too much to ask for :D
