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. Wink

Welsh John   I bet you find one first. Wink  every one else has. Cry

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

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  Grin
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.

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'

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

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