Upper Section - Day 2........

[CRUSADER]

Spent 2.5 hours on my own today on the Upper Section. The Upper-Middle is not finished yet but I'll leave it for when Cru'dad and/or Shuan7 get back.

It was a nice day but the ground was very wet after the rain we had. Probably a lot of rain tomorrow as well.

2 Scrappies
Cut hammered short cross type 3rd hammered in 3 occasions
Medieval Lead Cloth Seal
17th century 'nipple' button

A good short hunt on an area of the field that has produced very little in the past.

The only thing I'm expecting is that while I'm out in the fields that my wife and three teenage daughters will be spending all of my money shopping in Prague. One of the detecting sites planned is the site of the Battle of Kolin 1757 - if I dig up a musket ball I'll be happy and as you say everything else is a bonus. Anything which dates pre-1821 will thrill me because thats as far back as I've got here in Oz. Anything pre-1788 takes me back before European settlement of Australia so I'd say the chances are reasonably good.

Well Harry I am sure you will find a number of relics older than 1821, that is almost a certainty. Just make sure that you give your family cash and keep the credit cards away from them! And please tell us about your experience on your vacation....
