Finally got out detecting today after nearly drowning with taff laff(Rob) yesterday.
Got to the farm just before 10.00 am got changed and off first signal a great condition farthing about 1900. went a bit further and another coin George 3 this time. then musket balls buttons and a few more pennies and half pennies, when I looked up I noticed in the distance was a 4x4 parked up. I walked towards the car hoping it was the farmer as up until now I have only talked to him on the telephone. As I got near, the farmer launched himself out of the cab run over
I said his name and mine he held his hand out to shake it, (thank god for that I thought he was about to attack me).
We had a chat and he asked what I had found, gave him the farthing, george pennies, buttons, musket balls he was very impressed and offered them back I declined said you keep them, he was so chuffed he then said I can detect on his other farm as well and go where and when I want.
In total just under 500 acres and he is going to ask his farther if I can go on the other land as well.
What a result me and taff’s got enough land now until we retire.
so the moral of the story give the farmer some of your finds he might suprise you.
