The Potato Field - Day 2 - Solo Hunt - Hammered...

CRUSADER · Sep 7, 2019

I gridded just over 1/2 Acre today in 5 hours. I had 50 buttons, so 1 every 6 minutes average. With all the junk I was probably putting stuff in my pouch every 2-3 minutes. So you can easily work out its not Low & Slow for me, I would rather cover the area quickly. Something that suits my ploughed field MO. Something to think about if you spend a lot of time on your knees with a pin-pointer. A pin-pointer wastes precious time, in a ploughed field your best learning without it. :thumbsup:

Actually we have just passed last years hammered total already & the buttons are going strong this year as well. It's the Roman Silver that we are struggling with & no Celtic Silver yet.....

I'm glad you got some hammered coins Crusader, I'm guessing there's probably more still to find.
If you need a hand let me know [emoji6]

Not as good as my record of 1 every 1.5 minutes. The above field had these dumped on there, so its not the tailors fault, its the farmers. :thumbsup:

Yeah I've been on a few club digs which had the fields contaminated , personally I prefer the fields with fewer but better finds....only so many bits of Ali I can dig without my head dropping.
You going back for another go?

At this point I covered so much we may as well finish it all off, as it will take us both less than 2 hours. That's tomorrows first job. I've just heard from Land-Mag & we will do some scouting on new fields(today), so I can work out where Cru'dad & I settle down. This has been a strange harvest & I've never felt so lost. We should know exactly where to be with all the planning that Cru'dad does on tracking the crop rotations of circa 700 fields.
