Folks,

Detecting the sidelines of a school sports field....a bit of modern coins and the usual junk....

Then concentrated on the player's section between the 2 football pitches....managed a ring with a nice stone....it's stamped 18k but appears plated still a nice trinket.

Then a good size key fob which appears silver....not stamped and weighs in at 29 grams.

Regards + HH

Hi Bill.  Another 2 nice finds.  Better pic. of ring this time, I can see it. ::)

Just having a quick nose on site while Jackie dog has a pee.  Don't know why he can't go through the night, I can.

Nice medallion.  Wonder if it was awarded to some one. Seems to be fairly modern from what I can see on Wiki. A very nice find.

Val.

Jackie done the rounds so back to peeps. HH

Val,

Pratt + Whitney produce airplane and jet engines... thinking circa 1940 -1950 era given the style.

It was probably a customer giveaway item to be used as a key fob...it weighs in at 25.1 grams so has a bit of weight.

Sweet dreams.

Nice stuff - I wish I could find even stuff like that on the sides of the fooball pitches I've looked at - as I've said before - there are no stands there, so mainly Sunday football really - best I've managed so far is a whistle!

I got permission to go around a field that was used by the locals for Rugby.  The club folded some years ago and the land is just standing idle.

All I found was a harness buckle and 10 pesetas. Very disappointing. Seems the modern locals are as poor as the old ones were. Either that or they're meaner. ::)

Val,

Maybe they are spending all their extra money at the local pub....so there's the solution get permission to detect the land around the local pub....that's where all the goodies are.....lol.
