It was a great day out, and fab views !!   Lost the will to live in the top fields as the electric fence played havoc with my detector.

Plodded around, found the FAB mussle shell - still whole !!  lol  and on my last but one dig found this...

Elizabeth sixpence - she looks like she is eating a spider and has the legs sticking out of her mouth LOL   

Thanks for putting it on guys.

I'm  not an expert on mussel shells but I remember when I was a young lad and a keen fisherman going into a pond in my bathers to help clean out the weeds and finding large numbers of fresh water mussels like the one found on the rally.
The pond was was called Warren Mill just off the A48 in the Vale of Glamorgan.
                Hope that is of interest in the identification.

Here's some rubbish Me and My dad (Cable) found yesterday, including the Hammered that I walked right over whilst Rambo was taking a dump!

The silver ring and the coin weight My dad found on the previous rally with You guys, can You help ID them and the Hammered? The ring is engraved with D M  P 1 7 I H.

My favorite find is the Cap Pin, I did a little research of My own and discovered it belongs to a soldier of the Somerset Light Infantry (now known as The Rifles) who were victorious in holding out a Siege against them in the fortified town of Jellalabad, Afghanistan in 1842, earning them the title of ''Prince Albert's Own'' and the Jellalabad Pin badge.

(Ain't a Prince Albert a rude piercing?)
