On our vacation, I did 4 hunts in the UK. Hunt 1 was on a farm in Brampton, UK. High hopes for this one but it was slim pickins for the approximate 100 detectorists attending this charity rally. 1200 pounds were raised for a local school. Best finds for me: 3 buttons and a round ball. The two-hole button was made in Ulverston in Lancashire, about 80 miles south of where I dug it; likely made for clothing tailored by Thomas Mashiter around 1870.

Next 3 hunts (on consecutive evenings) were at a townfield in the city where we stayed. Since there was daylight until 10PM, these hunts were done from 8:30 to 10 PM. Best of the first night: 1806/1807 George III halfpenny, George V silver sixpence 1927, 1966 ship's halfpenny, and a 1967 Elizabeth II penny.
