Title: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: Neil on December 20, 2010, 02:36:33 PM I normally post a medley of my previous years finds at the start of January, but as I have no chance of getting out detecting now until the New Year and I am home with the lergy - a few of this years finds. Nothing overly special, but a few interesting items.
Anyone else snow bound and want to join in with a years show and tell - feel free to post. Cheers Neil Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: trojan on December 20, 2010, 03:11:49 PM awesome finds

Post by: Chef Geoff on December 20, 2010, 05:03:43 PM Lovely display Neil, and nice to see some of the finds as I was there when you recovered them. You did well on the milled silver this year.
Strangely I was thinking of starting a "pessimistic" post this morning, regarding my detecting being over for the year due to the weather but I need 1 more Hammy to give me an average of one a month, so I'm holding back for a couple of days in the vain hope that we may get a thaw. Watch this space ::) Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: Dodger on December 20, 2010, 05:36:36 PM Nice finds there. The little figure between the roman brooch and the French franc, is a Joan the Wadd charm. I think its Irish but don't know the story behind it. Found an identical one some years back. :)
Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: Neil on December 20, 2010, 07:23:56 PM You are spot on Dodger - well spotted - even says her name on the back. I believe she was the consort (bit on the side) for Jack O'Lantern
Thanks for the comments guys - there are indeed a few memories of days out there Ray and Chef. I've done rubbish on the hammered coins this year - with only four which is a personal low. Not been out as much this year though, and I've had the problem of having Ray with us quite often who tends to get to anything made of precious metal before anyone else! ;D Neil Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: Chef Geoff on December 20, 2010, 07:54:56 PM That's very true Neil, Ray is the magpie amongst us. Maybe we could rig something up similar to the way that travellers tether their horses when grazing, on a long rain attached to a spike. Then we could let him detect in circles. ::) :-\ ;D
Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: Chef Geoff on December 20, 2010, 08:42:26 PM I've just realised that this will be the only opportunity to show them all together as I'm off to drop some of these to the FLO tomorrow.
A bit of a rushed flash shot so apologies for the poor quality. (http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv294/Chef_02/2010finds.jpg) Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . .

Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: jaydogg on December 21, 2010, 09:03:36 PM Well done with the find displays (and finds :D) Neil, Paulywow and Cheff, an eclectic mix (as detecting finds tend to be). These are some highlights from my year (apologies for the poor picture quality). My favourite has to be the Mary groat found deeeep on pasture with my ole mucka Neil: I was well stoked to find it.
Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . . Post by: Neil on December 22, 2010, 09:38:03 AM A nice selection there Mr Moosekuckle - I can remember that Mary Groat coming out like it was yesterday - you were as pleased as Punch (if only you were as good looking as Punch!) ;) You did well on the George III sixpences mate - loads of them.
Well done Paul as well - nice selection of Romans - nice to see Republican amongst them. Also congrats to Val on the beach finds - you could open a fishing shop! Keep plugging away at the beaches and the goldies will appear. Any more DW members year "snapshots" of finds out there? Neil Title: Re: Some Detecting finds from 2010 . . .
