Title: On second thoughts...not too shabby!
Post by: herbie on October 09, 2011, 05:34:03 PM
Well, my week off work has come to an end.... Booooooo :(

Have spent a fair bit of time out in the fields, especially after getting the sef coil for the T2. I've had a general feeling of disheartenment over the week and had been feeling pretty negative about my land, on top of that I managed to break two spades as well :-\
So this evening I've taken stock of mine and Mrs Herbie's finds over the week and decided that there not too shabby at all ;).
Mrs Herbie started the week off with a nice Anglo Saxon dress pin, intact, amazingly and I finished it with a nice little Sceat, series N I think, and in between along with all the usual hedge fodder and inordinate amounts of lead we got a medieval purse bar, Vicky shilling (my first, & super deep too, would have missed if not for the sef), a William love token with a fair bit of detail on it, a small Lizzie, Edward II farthing on an oval flan, Georgian silver cuff-links (one still with stone), a French Jetton, a lovely little apothecary's weight (we think), a bit of Roman glass (maybe ;)), an unidentified silver object, a small lead / pewter figure of a bird.

So all in all not too shabby at all, and as Mrs Herbie keeps telling me we've got some great land that's seen lots of activity over the ages and I should stop whinging!!! :o :D :D :D

PS apologies for the poor photo but had to resize it through photobucket, you get the idea though :)
