Well, after yesterdays torrential rain where over 42mm fell in 24 hours, it was good to get away from the cabin fever! So me, Techony, Diggerdave and Mrs H, had a days detecting on our local stubble.

Mrs H broke her duck and got her first hammy of the year, with her trusty Garrett 250. [Any help with the ID would be appreciated]. My finds were limited to a pinhead, a spectacle buckle and a very interesting shoe!

As for Techony and Diggerdave, i'll leave them to tell you what they got

Well done Mrs H, well deserved  ;D ;D ;D

I had a quietish day until the end. A little casket key, georgian ha'penny and some form of embossed token. Not to mention the surface find of a 12 inch chunk of iron with a very wierd design for what I assume is off some form of modern farm equipment. That'll be one for the farmer to id ::)

After everyone else had left, a nice little 'coin' popped up that I thought was a Roman. Now it's home and cleaned I'm not so sure. Any idea's anyone? The reverse is blank. Then, as I was busy trying to swat a wasp that had taken a liking to my hat, I was driven off course somewhat. After having given him a severe headache on the twentieth swing of the spade, I got back to the job in hand and up popped little Eddie, 10 feet away from the line I had been following before Mr Martyr buzzed me.

Hi tony

top left is a constantine roman, 4th century gatehouse design. nice find.

as for the hammy, i'll leave that to you!!  ;D ;D ;D

coin top left looks like a very nibbled camp gate type roman coin , late 300/ 380 ad at a guess

With the rose on the breast I think the hammered is Edward 1st

Nice one Dave,

Here's the surface shot of your Henry Sovereign-type penny. Can't wait to see the close ups. Back out again in the morning before the afternoon showers if you're interested... (ps. you're not allowed to bring your detector though  ;D)

{EDIT}
ps. It's a Henry VIII (mm Portcullis): Spink 2328

well done diggerdave, well pleased for you.

don;t knock the shoe ... there ain't many with one like that!!   ;D ;D ;D

Well done all, sounds like you had a good day.

Is it a shoe or a hoof.?

Val

Dave's hat-trick...

Hi Val

thanks for that, the size is about 2 inches long and about an inch wide. i guess it could be a small hoof. the juries out on this on, all ideas are welcome

well done Dave .. now how about that nice piccy of them birds you met on the field!  ;D ;D
