As I mentioned in my post yesterday ( doing my bit for the hobby ) went to the farm at 10.00 this morning
met the farmer who told me it was his son inlaw or had lost his wedding ring in the cowshed :
he said give me five minutes to Moove the cows out
in the meantime his son inlaw appeared on the scene and proceeded to give me the gen
he took me armed with my goldmaxx to the cowshed and pointed out where he was when he lost the ring yesterday
I told him upfront there was no gurantee that I,d find it!! but I,d do my best
of we set had a signal straight away dug down through the straw and manure
nothing there picking up the steel in the concrete floor had to ask him to get a bloody pitchfork this stuff is murder to get through started to break into a sweat
if the missus could she me she would,nt believe after another five false signals
and a lot of twiddling of controls recieved a nice mellow /sweet signal in went the pitchfork raised a big clump to see the ring standing on edge glinting in the sunlight
have we discovered a new way of cleaning gold
the son inlaw ruhed to the farmer who was also overjoyed
the farmer the said come whenever you like and proceeded to tell me about all the other fields that were a couple of miles away
I decided to have a quick recon of a few fields
my finds for the day were not spectacular about 20 assorted buttons including one nice livery silver plated with a creast on 2 bronze buckles a couple of georgian grots 2 pre decimal pennys and a halfpenny a probable roman bronze grot a cut quarter of a silver hammered not detail though and to big to be a penny
and two small fragments of an hammered silver halfpenny
just remembered why I bought the goldmaxx
think I,ll be in for some more goodies thanks for the support ladies and gents with out your encouragement I would,nt have found the ring
