Got given a huge new permission today with a lot of history including bronze age axe head found by farmer last year while ploughing. Thought I would have a quick 3 hours on it and got tons of molten lead, bits of molten copper, couple of lumps of bronze, loads of worn coins but my best find has to be this.
