Went out on sunday to a club rally and found the usual musket balls,buttons,buckles,lead, a roman grot and a cut quarter.

Title: Re: Saxon from sunday Post by: doddy10 on March 28, 2011, 07:06:33 PM Thanks everyone for the comments. I was still on a high last night and I didnt get much sleep :)
It was a very lucky find I was using a Etrac with a 12 x 10 sef coil and heard the smallest blip, rechecked it and only got a good signal with a 1" hover over the target. It landed right in the hammy area and was about 3" to 4" down. Title: Re: Saxon from sunday Post by: doddy10 on March 28, 2011, 07:07:18 PM Yes Peter it was on the CHADS rally :)
Title: Re: Saxon from sunday Post by: avalon on March 28, 2011, 07:28:08 PM Yes Peter it was on the CHADS rally :) I think it is probably a Woden Series X sceat, type 31. Title: Re: Saxon from sunday Post by: briggs1969 ( Dawson ) on March 28, 2011, 07:38:01 PM great find lovely mate ;)
