When I found out what it was yesterday I thought what a great piece of history found when the information goes with it.

Thanks

Very well done Mark you've had a productive start when I think about my first couple of outings I'm amazed I didn't give the hobby up

Thank you!

I have dug up my fare share of scrap mind. But I'm getting much better listening to the tones now and even guessing what the item is before digging it up. I do leave the quite iron tones though.

Edit: Can someone help with the cherub looking item please. It's very fragile found on pasture

[Val Beechey]

You've certainly got some productive land there Mark.  Lovely selection of finds. That buckle, although not precious metal, would have been a belter when it was new. Probably late 1700's or thereabout.
Well done, keep them coming. Much more to be had yet.

Well found Mark, great selection of very,very nice finds,well done.👍

[MarcB]

Thank you both. 

What do you think pictures no# 2 and 5 from my first post are?

[Val Beechey]

Not seeing the back of no 2 I'd say it's a brooch. It looks to be silver, have you tested it. Are those hall marks on the 'petals'.
No 5 not sure what it is. If you turn it a 1/4 to the left it looks like a flower. Could be furniture decoration.

Mark,

I like your Chinese token.

Cheers going back out this Sunday.

Still trying to get an ID on the cherub looking find. Hmm

[Chef Geoff]

Mark we would need some better shots of it both front and reverse to even try an id, what metal is it?

I think it's pewter, very brittle. You can see a wing, what looks to be legs.

1st picture is the reverse

[Val Beechey]

I thought I could see a leg on the other pics.  Now I can see 2 legs and a wing.  I think it's either a winged horse or some other animal, not a cherub.
Still have no idea what it might have been attached to though.
