Some great finds there love the brooch, well done guys and girls 

[wayno]

Very nice finds well done
I am Still waiting to find my first cut half

[rjm]

Lovely hammered and the brooch is a cracker.  With the Deus again, one suspects! 

[Debbie]

RJM - cut half with the Monsterlab, brooch with the Deus 
To be honest though, the cheapest detector on the market would probably have found the brooch - it sounded like a coke can when I went over it   

As I, and many people on the forum have said - with a lot of the finds, you just have to go over it with the search head    I often stand in a field and look around at a vast expanse of land and wonder how on earth I find anything at all - especially when the Deus has one of the smallest search heads on the market (unless, of course, users have gone for the new large coil).  It makes me wonder how much I miss too 

In my humble opinion ............. the more expensive machines give the option of "tweaking" the settings for more challenging environments - such as highly mineralised ground, salt on the beach etc. etc., and the electronics are more sophisticated to be able to winkle out a good signal when the object is either next to or under iron.  On pasture, greater depth is an advantage.  In the case of the Deus, the light weight and no cables are an absolute boon.  One of those instances when good things, other than Oxo cubes, come in small packages    Again, the bottom line is - you still have to go over it to find it, regardless of the detector you are using.

Roll on next Monday!

Mmmmmmmmm.......interesting cut half eh Doc?  Shucks   
Anyone want my autograph 

Seriously - had a fantastic day.  A big thank you for all the effort that Gloria and Dave put into finding rally land for the club.  They are the unsung heroes 

[Zorro]

you had a great day then Debbie! 2 amazing finds , you didnt have to travel hundreds of miles and probably caught a bit of a tan too.
what more can you ask for....well done!

[Kev]

Tyna & Debbie well done on the cut half & the roman brooch great finds,well done Nap on your finds m8

[The Doc]

Mmmmmmmmm.......interesting cut half eh Doc?  Shucks   
Anyone want my autograph 

Sorry Tyna, but I get a bit enthusiastic when I see something different, particularly in the short cross or voided long cross series.

To put it in perspective though, there are 904 short cross coins on UKDFD. Only 10 are Rhuddlan mint and there are none from this moneyer (Halli).

In the book by JP Mass, English Short Cross Coins 1180-1247, there are 2200 coins illustrated. Only 21 of these are Rhuddlan mint, with 6 from this moneyer and only 2 with this retrograde legend. So pretty scarce IMHO.

Yes, I know I'm an anorak......

[tyna]

Only playing Pete  . Of course I'm thrilled with the cut half and really do appreciate the trouble you go to in identifying these bits and pieces for us all 

Naturally you're an anorak but that's what we love about you 

[tyna]

Suppose you  noticed who was using MY Deus 
At the end of the day a little voice suggested I get one as well   
What a cheek !!!!

[Napoleon]
