Seeing as the only patch of plough field I can do right now is less than productive I decided to go to the local park.
My aims in this order were:
1) Enjoy Life - Done
2) Find silver ring - Failed
3) Find a pre-1900 coin - Hit the jackpot
4) Find lots of Clad - Did OK
Spent 3 hours digging lots of trash as no-one bothers detecting this park.
It was warm enough to wear just a T-shirt
I dug a very deep enamelled bowl - complete
Not far away I had a nice deep sounding signal which I could clearly hear even though I never use earphones :P I dug about 8 inches into a natural gravel bar (I'm close to the river) & out popped a very rare coin. I instantly reconsized it as it had a copper plug;
1690-1692 - William & Mary Tin Halfpenny. In the 2005 book it starts in fair condition at £75 going upto £2500 in EF. I collect coins & this is one I could never afford so its a welcome addition & in good condition considering (1000 times rarer than a roman coin)
Got £5.19 in spendable money - $10.
Iron Axe
Worn cica 1880s Penny
Stunning complete WWI era Salvation Army Badge (remember found my first broken one less than 1 week ago)
A Whatzit cartridge - see the 1965 Qrt that I found for scale. Its massive, I think its the starter cartridge for the old plane engines??
Happy Hunting one & all
