Enjoyed a nice afternoon in the Sun with a new pal yesterday.  Only 5mins into the field and first blood went to Chantal with what looked like a large copper, as yet unidentified.
Not 10 mins after that up turned this little beauty.  At first sight I thought I'd finally done it and was all set to do my 1st Hammy dance.  Not that  old but I'm well pleased with it.   It's 198 years old and it's in nice condition.
I didn't find much else, just the usual bits and pieces but all in all a very enjoyable 4 1/2 detecting.

Very nice indeed Val, well done girl ;)

Back of the Net Val!

Love to see early milled silver.

Well done

Neil

Oh and cracking photo too by the way ;)

Excellent Val love
what do you mean not that old......compared to what ::) ;D

well done Val great find ;)

Nobby, the way I feel at the mo. I could say not that old compared to me. ::)

Just been cutting a 'small' conifer down (about 8ft high by 6ft wide). One of those lovely fluffy little things they put in flower baskets. Finished cutting, having a break before I get rid of the darn thing. At least now I can see down the valley.

Word of advice. If any one gets one on Mothers Day throw it in the bin after the other flowers die.  DONT PLANT IT.

Val

Thanks for comments Fellas.  Yes Geoff, good little camera, doesn't disappoint. 

Neil, it makes a change to find one I can recognise. ::)

Val

Thanks for all your comments Fellas.  My good finds are few and far between so it was nice to find this one in such good condition.

HAMMEROID have you made your lucky finds bag yet ?  Mine needs some gold to have a sniff at before I call it lucky. ;)

Welsh John   I bet you find one first. ;)  every one else has. :'(

Alan   I don't ever want to hear about 'those' trees again. ???

Val

Not a 22ct round thing  but I'm pleased Mikey. ;)


Val

was gorgeous weather and you were great company val, 2 x safari's and their owners hunting around in the sun  what gets better than that  ;D
heres a picture of the george penny thats black with patina and i havnt cleaned it , a brass button thats gone speckled with patina and a watch winder that says E.EYNON Narberth on one side and Jewelry watchmakers on the other side. Narberth is only a few miles from the field.i found reference to the shop online in 1913 but it may have been around for generations before that so i cant pin a date down for it.

Well done val a beauty! I like the watch winder aswell chantalpoole!

Well done done val  cracking bullhead

I thought that little watch winder was nice when I saw it dirty. It looks even nicer now.  Shame the button has crusted up. Have you tried rubbing some oil on it. It had a nice pattern when it came up.
You can almost see the date on the penny, the early ones aren't usually that good.

Made a nice change to get out and leave the jobs behind. Had to face them today though. Should think a bit more like a man I reckon.  Get up in the morning and wonder 'What shall I do today' instead of 'What have I GOT to do today'

Val

Nice finds, well done  ;)

yes when i washed it in mild detergent to remove the soil it reacted with the patina and  now doesnt look very good maybe a little oil or wax will help ??
next time ill just use a dry toothbrush and a wet wipe

buy some renaissance wax, Great stuff think taff sells it on here

OLD ! huh Nobby remembers those coins being minted  ;D ;D Well done Val thats well deserved
and what a little beauty [ you and the coin ] . Looks like you girls are going to make a formidable pair

  Nice One VAL and CHANT...  lovely little finds there and more importantly found a couple of pals with each other. 
   Keep it up both ...  :)

   

It's always nice when the George silvers pop up - only had two myself and I know how happy I was to find them!

lovely finds val,chant , i would be very pleased with the silver val ;)

Nice one Val,
I found a 1820 bullhead shilling on saturday too 300 yds from house,nice to be greeted by silvers shine mine is in beautiful condition ;)

Once again thanks for all you comments Fellas.

What about a pici Tosser.  Long time since I found a decent coin of any sort. Gives you a bit of enthusiasm to find some more.

Well done ladies some very nice finds, well searched ;)

Thanks again for the comments Fellas.

 Off up the lane tomorrow for an easy dig  ::)  I had permission ages ago to detect a field that was used by the local Rugby and Football teams. Got no idea what sort of condition it's in but worth a shot.
We all know things turn up in the most unexpected places so fingers crossed.

Val

Very nice,
