Melonhead and i went back to a farm that we have only been on once before which was given to us from another member Jeff64 he got the farm to detect on but said to us that we can still go on there wihout him "thanks Jeff",and the farmer said its ok as well. after ariving at the farm we saw quit a few jeep there and as we got out of the car saw walking down the field about 6 guys with shoot guns :-\ they had been pheasant shooting on there after a bit of banter with them we went to a field just below Farmer Phil's dads farm.after finding a few buttons and lots of lead we moved to another field Melonhead found a nice queen victoria threepence 1866, i picked up a l spindle whorl, a belt fitment but not sure if it is ! and also a part of a silver spoon or fork with hallmarks on think its George 3rd ,we hope to go back there in January. ;)
