Winter Stubble Field - Day 12......

[CRUSADER]

Decided not to travel to the new site, as the rough ploughed field in windy freezing rain would be a little crazy, especially as Dad has weak knees. (The stubble was a safer bet)

The clay was at that horrible sticky stage which caused us to scream a few choice words. I really (for the first time), questioned our sanity (more so when your not getting much) being out in driving freezing rain which froze my fingertips . We managed 4.5 hours (9 man hours) with only the following:

4 scrappies (which all fell to the XP, sounded sweet)
Military Capbadge - WWI Army Service Corp
and usual bits

We are now only 1/2 a day from completing the whole of this field.

I'm beginning to warm to the XP, but as I'm learning it, I dig twice as much iron/coke than normal. I know it will be at least a year until I feel at 'one' with this machine. I think my Cortes is jealous.

Yea it will take some time to learn it, but you are already finding just as much as with the Cortes, and so to see still without headphones.
Nice stuff for sure, the badge is great, and again so to see lead tokens (I never find those) and something that looks a bit silvery on the right side of the 2nd photo.... Great finds for such a muddy day. I always take my mud scraper with me on those days. I have been places where for every step you walk you grow upwards a few mm... after a time you are falling to the side....

OK, I know now. Yea, have to empty it every once in a while because it gets too heavy.
And you mean he seems to be finding more, the photos are more filled with finds.
Oh... you English with your funny words.... (packed photo?). You guys are funny!
