Title: Find from yesterday 02/03/2014 Post by: 150aceboy on March 02, 2014, 06:12:08 PM What a great day out with TheLoveDoc, thanks again fella, great days detecting and as normal a good old laugh as well ;D ;D
We arrived at the field about 8:30 and by 8:45, i was lucky enough to find a little hammered love token, quickly followed with a cartwheel penny. Coins were comeing up right left and centre, half penny's, penny's etc, until Doc said " funny we have'nt found any buttons ", that stopped my coin run, from there on it was buttons for me lol, or thats what i thought. Doc found a lovely Vicky widow head joey, what we think is a forged sixpence, lots of pre decimals, and a William 3rd sixpence, which unfortunately had a fight with the plough, a great shame as it was full of detail >:(, he also found a nice cartwheel penny, stamped as a one penny token ??? Last night whilst cleaning my finds, what i thought was a button, turned out to be a Locket, i just had to open it lol. Inside was a picture which looks victorian in date. Here's the locket with picture. Paul ;) Title: Re: Find from yesterday 02/03/2014 Post by: deepersweeper on March 02, 2014, 06:15:47 PM wow great find and nice to see picture is still there.good find
