Surprise field continues...

CRUSADER · May 15, 2010

Decided to spend another 2.5 hours going slow on the Surprise field in hope for more Saxon stuff. It wasn't to be, but I got 4 hammered (my most in a day this year). Nearly all the targets were in amounst nails, really pleased with the tiny farthing of Ed III 8)

1 Roman Coin
My best Large 17th century Lead/Tin alloy button

Then spent 2.5 hours with Dad in the next field - coin shooting. Managed a 1892 3 Pence & a few coppers.

Aren't you tired of all those hammered, Cru

Nice finds :headbang:

. I like those double loop and annular buckles and a big button is great. We have one find in common today - a black utility button

. Mine has a lion on it.

It was the area that you started on, towards the beginning of the run. Not on the higher bit but on the slope. You tried with my setting & said it was too noisy. Many, if not all were in the same holes as nails or surrounded by multiple bits of rubbish. Its only because I was slow & with my settings I could pick up the mixture of sounds. Otherwise they could be easily missed (if heard at all of course, because of the big coil). The pinpointing is hard on the big coil, specially amounst multiple hits but I have found more Farthings with it than any other coil or machine put together. Unless I have to, I will be keeping it on :headbang:

Great, I need a big coil and learn those settings $:-\$

That farthing couldn't have been small enough, could it? Good ears...but then I think you wired that detector straight to your brain to get maximum processing!

Once again, nice finds :icon_thumleft:
