Title: Bees and Beet Post by: roughneck on May 06, 2016, 09:23:00 PM Hi Folks
Me and Ron took his beehive on holidays yesterday. We positioned the hive in the corner of a shining yellow rape field and opened it to allow the bees a glimpse of their new larder for a while. Then we left them to get busy and made our way to a newly seeded sugar beet field. Freshly rolled and easy digging. Not many signals and finds in this field, though I managed a Charles 1st half groat and a nice buckle, whilst Ron had a few farthings in his bag. The remainder of our finds were buttons, lead etc. I also had what looks like a hand made rustic brooch as the ends are welded and the curves are positive. (ID if possible). It was a lovely few hours, the bees are happy and we had a bit of detecting. Marvellous!! And we're out again tomorrow. Happy Digging!! Tom.

What more could you want ;D ::)
