Well done one and all .... loving the Bodkin .. some super finds 

[Neil]

Well Done on a great Rally report and pictures Geoff - really good read.

Some lovely finds came up - the bodkin is a cracker and the third to date on DW Rallies. Well done GJH also on the half sovs - somebody would have been in the wifes bad books over that loss!

Well done Ray as well for getting the farm - mmuch appreciated matey.

Guttted not to be there

Cheers
Neil

[Chef Geoff]

it has the initials FH on the inside chef ....would that be the person who owned it or the makers mark ?

A difficult one to call Mark, around that time you are beginning to get makers marks on silver but also as these tend to have been very common in their day it's equally likely to have been a mark of ownership. Can you take a photograph of the letters? as that may give a hint as to their meaning.

Thankyou DW for a good day out.
Was fortunate to find a cut half and a roman coin.

[kencomet]

Thanks again to DW, for another great rally, I found a few bits and bobs including my first spindle whorl, only did a half day as the rugby was calling, looking forward to the next rally.

Thanks DW for the rally, found nothing but enjoyed the day. The half-sovereign found by GJH is Edward VII not VIII.  Nice to have seen a few old faces and quite a number of new.

[GJH]

 Just like to say thanks to everyone concerned with organizing the rally, needless to say I had a great day after finding the two half sovereigns, finding one was fantastic but finding the second one about three feet away I was gob smacked, I also found a roman coin but sadley time has not been very kind to it.
 (Thanks for your nice comments Chef Geoff I'll let you hold them (sov's that is) next time I see you  )
 Geoff
 Hope the next rally is not too far away.

Another great rally thanks everyone glad I came .Its not just about the tectin I had some really interesting chats with other detectorists always good to learn and offer advice to others especially if you are using the same machines.I can't believe the two sovereigns found does anyone know if the were found together in the same hole ?I am still searching for the first one to pop into my finds tin maybe the next rally will provide .
Thanks again see you all Ono.
