 it works out like that very often,  you'll either find something good right at the start of right at the end, lol,
 i one found a silver ring like that, switched my machine on, and found a nice silver ring as soon as i put it down,

Nice finds, well done.  Has anyone else ever noticed how often that happens. I did it last time out. Was hot and my feet hurt and being plagued by flying ants. Thought I've had enough, stopped to have a rest and put detector right on top of a great big brass buckle. Great stuff.

 ha ha,  Thats another thing iv'e found,  if your doing well and finding and you stop for a coffee break  they seem to stop coming up after,
 but if your not doing so good and stop for a break, they seem start coming up when you get back to it,   hence i have regular breaks when not finding much lol

by your logic alan it should call coffee breaking lol i will be wizzing round the field till day light :o

Great finds wolverine well done  m8  ;) something I learned the hard way was to always keep your detector on & detect on the way back to the car. Years ago we went detecting me with a Bounty Hunter  & my pal with a Tesoro, my highlight of the day was a modern coin hoard ( from some courting couples pockets ) a few Vicky pennies a buckle & tons  of big calibre bullets. My pal had 2 roman bronzes more predecimal coins worked lead etc, on the way back muggins switched off his detector
( I was more interested in holding my pants up lol  ;D ) My friend detected all the way back to the vehicle & you guessed it 6 ft from the landrover the last signal & up popped an old gold signet ring. ( the Jammie git  ;D ) We must have walked right over it when setting up the detectors, I learned tree lessons that day.
1 buy a decent detector as the Bounty Hunter couldn't find small roman coins in an air test let alone in the ground!
2 buy a decent finds bag & belt if you didn't want your trousers to keep falling down under the weight of all the scrubbish.  ;D
3 most important of all kept your detector on and detect all the way back to car as you never know what you've missed  ;)

 Love the seal matrix much more interesting than coins,( never found one myself still on the wish list ) gotta wonder at the history behind that. Well done again  ;)

we hear of so many good finds "on the way back to the car"....i am going to walk backwards when detecting from now on !...... ;D....byron
