The Last Field

[Silver Searcher]

We have been waiting a long time for this field to be ploughed and we new it would be deep ploughed, and the last of the season
We arrived at 9.30 to find it had indeed been deep ploughed, but quite rough beggars can't be choosers this time of year and to have a field ploughed, even rough ploughed was a bonus
This area has produced some great Artifacts over the past three years and it didn't disappoint today, so expectations were high, Michael struck first with a very nice Medieval Spur Rowel then he got an even better Medieval harness mount depicting a Lion.
I had to wait a while for my first find a nice Roman Trumpet Brooch, the pin missing as per the norm just few paces on I had my second find of the day, a quite large Medieval Beehive Thimble a bit squashed but a nice Patina and apart from a Roman Bronze coin and Sliver sixpence 1942 that was it for me
Michael managed the only hammered, probably the thinest I have seen he also had a very nice Roman nail cleaner.....time for the pictures

do not seem human ... unless belong to a dwarf.
I envy at how well organized the hunt, is even a portable kitchen to prepare food! Here a snack and some water nothing else, their hunts are excursions .

I only take water, no time for eating, that's wasted time - Starving focuses the hunt

(although I have been known to take some food on an all day hunt)

Actually it's the outher way around for us a break helps us focus better, refreshes the body a nice Buttie and Cuppa, and gives you chance to talk about the next plan of attack, and of course to look at the finds. Not taking a break doesn't make any sence, why rush about, you wouldn't work all day with out a tea break.
