LOl -- well i managed a good mornings detecting before the deluge arrived. Some interesting finds nonetheless.

Most interesting of all is the thimble, made of a very light alloy with the inscription "FORCE ME NOT". Over the past weekend i found another thimble very close by to this one and its made of same light alloy. [see pic below].

A nice crotal bell fragment, the usual buttons and the last signal of all, was a cut half of Henry, [but which one!]

So, after a mornings hard work, its now off to the gym, sauna and hottub!

Enjoy

Don't you mean:

"Me Not Forget!" - I am sure I have heard that somewhere before.  Roll Eyes

Nice cut half by the way.
