Yesterday Evening Finds xx

[blossom]

Ahh managed to get a quick swing in last night after work! We went to the field close to the village which we have hunted before, but due to the rain there is a patch that didnt grow 😆

Himself found this cross… then a thimble and square piece (?) bug buckle, parts of buckles, 2spoon handles, livery button (Ram) 2 patterned lead buttons, button with an eye (?) more buttons, and my silver Victoria… so for a short hunt, quite the result 😆 xx.

Well done for a short evening hunt.

What does the other side of the eye looking one look like?
I see a letter or 2 on the left hand side.

Another silver for the season never hurts.

Great finds and great scenery. It makes me feel calm and peaceful just looking at the scene.

Done properly the loser should have to buy ice cream.
Not sure if the cross wins or not. I don't want to start any domestic fighting...
But it's certainly in the running.
And you squeaked through on the silver; yet again..!

Congrats!

I might recognize that square thing..

Your square thingy might just be a hem weight. The bare ground could just be an area where the seeder ran out of seeds and the farmer failed to check.

We have had some much rain, the crop has literally rotted away… 😊 xx

Is the Victoria silver a shilling? Can you see the date? I'd love to find one of those over here! My only Victoria silver finds are Canadian 5 cents (often called "fish scales" they are so small).
