Excellent write up as ever Neil and it just makes me more envious that I wasn't there. Some brilliant finds and interesting how they fall into certain periods and may point to land use regarding enclosure for the wool trade.

A great two dayer and my first hammered for a long time, then the added bonus of my grandson finding the bodkin, couldn't ask for more. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun two days.
Here's the best of what we found (Bob, Steve78 and Joe, my grandson) form the top left: Large piece of lead, possibly a plumb weight for getting depth? Lead cap off something? Large buckle. Part of pewter goblet? Lead tube, silver-plated spoon with initials, 3 coins, only identifiable is a Vicky penny, two buttons with a RAF cap badge below, buckle, spectacle buckle, another lead thingy (jacks?) possible locket? silver bodkin, long cross hammered, horse brass?

Thanks team for another great time. Haven't got round to getting any pics yet, but will get some done tomorrow. For the weekend had one and a third hammies, a very worn William III sixpence, a blank love token, a couple of pieces of flint and the usual assortment of buttons and bits and pieces. One of the buttons has the Prince of Wales feathers with GY below, which I think is Glamorgan Yeomanry, and I was quite pleased with that.

Was great to see Mark's Charles II halfcrown, and Ian's penny of Stephen. Hard to choose which was the coin of the rally for me, and I hope someone does get a pic on here of Ian's coin.

ROFL at that Geoff .. its amazing how many people see the NER and think NERO Grin Grin  As you know, Nerva was only in power for 2 years, when he died of natural causes. [he was well in his 60's when he came into power!] ... what will be interesting to see, when the coin is cleaned up, is whether it has COS I  or COS II on it ... that will indicate whether it was minted in either his 1st or 2nd year of his short reign

keep up the good work ... and c u at the rally on the 4th!

Thanks for a great weekend guys.

Thank you Nomad for donating the GPS that I won in the Token Hunt Raffle & I was chuffed
with Denarius of Faustina Snr. that I found, also had a Jubilee head shilling of Victoria.

At the end of the second day, we cleared up the pile of leftover food which had been left on
site in case it's owner returned to collect it.. Amongst it were two large tupperware type containers
containing spuds in foil. One with blue lid, one without. if owner would like repatriation with these items
please pm me.
Dave.
