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

What's with the bones in the field? Any info on them?

glad you noticed them I was hoping some one might have a clue on those there were quite a few bones showing up, and some looked human but there were also animal bones there to

SS

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 .

OK Colin, were have you buried Snow white ?.

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.

SS

Course not, I get pay at work to make tea & waste time. when detecting, I might stop to share the odd find as its coming out the ground, plus if a roman coin I give to dad to plot & number. When on a good site, dad only plots as he has little time in between to detect. Plan of attack is always set prior to leaving home, we know the routine. Systematically. Tea is when we get home. But you already know I'm not normal

nice relics and other finds MR TUFF

 

[jc2]

First off, I would like to say that it must really be nice to dig museum quality relics and well off enough to be able to bring along your own personal chef. It sure beats my Dunkin' Doughnuts Bacon Egg and Cheese on a croissant and coffee before my start of detecting. Very nice relics guys.

 

[1491]

Man, you guys know how to picnic (and detect)!

Hi

one of the reasons for getting the portable stove, is that me and my Detecting buddy were spending a fortune either going to or coming back from Detecting on food, now it costs less the half on what it used to and much fresher

An English that does not take tea in the field, like a Spanish do not make the after dinner nap .... after more than three hours to hunt, like a sandwich and do a nap under a tree ... if I did could not go hunting.

Maybe pig bones. Certainly don't look human but then I'm no forensic pathologist.

Great idea Mate you certainly won't regret it :P especially during the winter months, a flask of Tea or Coffee is Ok, but a fresh made one's a lot better

The one pictured was £50 of ebay, come with 2 gas cylinders, the pan a fiver and the kettle was about a tenner
