Title: Todays finds from a new field. Post by: icedout84 on August 04, 2014, 06:50:47 PM Well its the first time for a while that iv been able to get out, so got the week off work and the farmer has let me on a new field of his and here are my finds.
A load of rusty junk, the usual bits of cans, bits of lead, the ends of shotgun shells and the remains of some sort of tube of medicine that gets injected up the cows a** (so the farmer tells me?) various items which I don't have a clue what they are. My best finds are the 2 coins which don't have much detail left on them and my star find of the day my 1st crotal bell still intact with the ball inside which has cleaned up very nicely.
