Nothing for me just a basic spindle whirl. Great day out though.cheers Mark.

ill do mine tomorrow cheers mark great bit of land, even if youve only found coppers,spindles,buttons :) ,buckles , lets have a look at what this land has produced and when it gets turned again what we could get from it.

I'll take and post my pictures tomorrow, but finds for me were a couple of nice buckles, one what I think is a medieval spectacle type. lots of pewter buttons, couple of old pennies, lots of pieces of lead.
A 1795 " simcox" George 111 half guinea gaming token and an eyes only find of a circular shale disc with a part hole drilled through it.

Great day out and great wwather my only decent find was this sword hanger it's going to be a great site thanks to mark 👍

Found in the book

Struggling at the moment with this bluddy photo bucket lol.

Great organisation mark, you did bril with the parking too.not much for me to post, had 3 thimbles a million buttons.saw some great finds,great day.cheers

Well done people, Sounds like you had a good day out,

Yes thanks for organising it Mark, I had a good day. The weather behaved itself and the mud was not too bad.
I managed 3 silvers. First Was the broken hammy which I initially thought was a lizzy but I think is a Henry 8th Half Groat, possibly a posthumous issue as it has his bust facing forward. The second I found was another Henry 8th Half Groat, think that is an earlier one, has the initials TC either side of the shield so that could be Bishop Thomas Cranmer making it a Cantebury mint?
Last coin I had was the 1921 Florin.

Not shown was a lead spindle whorl and a nearly complete set of nut crackers which I will post next time as I dont have them with me now. (At work).

Thanks again Mark

That's a great find. Looking forward to going back to that area!

You did well will I take it your not giving up the hobby now lol

I'll give it a bit longer  ;D

hey i'm back  8) some great finds so far especially the sword hanger and the Henry VIII's!

i had a great day yesterday, demolished my button record in the process too! so many were just sat on the surface! my best finds were a dress hook (tudor? would love a date for it!) some form of bronze finger ring (georgian maybe i'm not so sure), 1931 shilling and coppers ranging from George II to George V. also a lead item which appears to have some sort of design, but is not the conventional spindle whorl shape. cracking site and thanks to Mark for arranging. look forward to seeing what else was found . cheers


sharkey

I like that dress hook! How long did people stay?

My few bits of interest as promised.

The shale disc that is partly drilled, the nearest thing I can find online to it is a piece of unfinished iron age jewellery. Any other thoughts are welcome.

I met a local guy today while walking the dogs and as he was using a Deus I stopped for a natter.
He said he has detected for years, from the 1970s, but like many of us he had  stopped a while back and then recently got interested again.
He wanted to know of any local clubs, other than Mold, which was too far away, so I mentioned ours.
Are we still looking for more local members? or have we sufficient at present.
He seemed very keen to know more about us and gave me his old business card to contact him.
Your comments please

I say more the merrier bill we don't get that many coming on digs anymore always roughly 20ish
