Post by: adesace on October 19, 2009, 08:44:34 AM It was a great day out there was few hammered and some lovely roman broaches. I had some nice bits but nothing amazing. I will try and send some pics so you can all give me a hand with identification. There was plenty of fields to go at but some were nearly impossible to detect because of stubble and deep plough. But all in all a good day with lovely weather.

Post by: The Doc on October 19, 2009, 04:15:30 PM I was there too, didn't do well at all - had a watch winder, small pot leg and buttons. My mate Stephen had a medieval buckle and a William III halfpenny. The fields in crop were ideal for detecting, but the rape stubble fields were horrible, although I did hear of a nice shortcross penny coming out of one of them. There were some other nice finds - Roman and medieval, but not much considering how many were there.
I did see the RARE coach, but didn't get to talk to any of the members - anyone get anything good? Title: Re: Leisure Promotions Rye hill farm Rally Wilts : how did everyone do ? Post by: dragonsbreath(Paul) on October 19, 2009, 04:47:11 PM I attended and had the following...

Post by: The Doc on October 20, 2009, 08:44:59 PM Andrew - I'm not sure what it is though - can you try and get better pics - the second one is blurred?
That ring of pellets has a Celtic look about it to me, but the other side doesn't look like silver - is it only silver-plated on one side? Title: Re: Leisure Promotions Rye hill farm Rally Wilts : how did everyone do ? Post by: Passingclod(Andrew) on October 21, 2009, 06:10:09 PM Hello
Thanks Pete I think you are right with the one side being plated.The other has the initials on it but looks blurry even in the flesh. I will try and get some close ups done that will turn out a tad better Cheers Andrew Title: Re: Leisure Promotions Rye hill farm Rally Wilts : how did everyone do ?

Post by: rjm on October 24, 2009, 07:04:19 PM I found 7 coins altogether of which two were milled silver. All were very worn and the silver smooth. Also a lead token and a few buttons.
Lovely weather. My arm was aching after a good 5 hours solid detecting. Looking forward to Aldbourne. |
