Today’s Mixed Bag xx

[blossom]

Today for a change we went to the fields next to the canal!

Tons of big iron, and a few random modern coins… and an American Cent! Some musket balls, buttons, spoons, and a medal, cat brooch and part of a toy gun… all in all a very mixed bag! 😂 xx

It made a nice change from beating the stubble😆 but hopefully the ploughing will be done so we can head back there tomoz! 😆 xx

Took some pics of the canal lock and bridge to make up for the lack of exciting finds 😆 xx

Is that a narrow boat canal? Dumb question, but are they One Way? I can’t imagine how 2 boats could meet going opposite directions. Cool finds. I’m taking my 10 year old granddaughter out detecting this afternoon, for the first time. Wish us luck. I hope we find anything. Even a Lincoln penny! LOL

They are 2 way, the locks are narrow, but before and after the canal widens. It’s no longer used, but in its day it must have been awesome!

ahh good luck I’m sure she will love it xx

''part of a toy gun''
Just for info, these are early 1900s.

Is that a moose on the metal? And the bird on the large button looks familiar, any idea what it is?
NIce work Blossom, and good luck tomorrow too!!

You must have a heck of a button collection by now, I'm just a little jealous.

We found 22 various nails; not my goal. She was thrilled at how it worked and the unknown factor each time we started digging. I think we’ll go again. I let her operate the new pinpointer.

Cool place to dig, that eagle button is awesome

Great photos...I think I see a home for gnomes or fairys in that tree...love the toy gun part...and the Lincoln penny is the best find of course!

Congrats!
A fine outing.

That U.S.A. coin might be one of them worth 1 cent!

Always great to see your finds posted and your pictures of the landscape

 

[tamrock]

Love the area you roam. Just last night I couldn't find anything to watch on TV, so I went to Exfinty on Demand and watched the first episode of this show.

 

[WannaDig3687]

I’m imagining you let out a little chuckle over that penny. Or maybe a little smile on your face. lol 😂. It’s still cool to see what you dug up. I love the sheep on the stump. Great pics as always.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

I love the patina on those 2 Elizabeth coins.
