Good report taff, looks like you found some interesting finds.
I couldn't make this rally, due to home commitments.  Cry

Nice one Neil it was certainly the oddest find of the day as far as being out of place that's for sure and I think it'll be a good while until I see another one of those turning up, a lovely find Wink

Great report Taff, for me I think it was one of the best DW's rallies so far as far as the variety of finds were concerned and also some really interesting artefacts and on the whole in pretty good condition too.
A mixed day for me emotionally, relief after just a hour with Nobby finding his Medieval seal matrix and then his Follis together with Outlaws Noble coin weight which proved my suspicions of the site but personally I had to wait until the 11th hour until I found anything remotely coin shaped myself and it came in the shape of a (worn) Lizzy threepence rapidly followed by George II farthing.


 I think I saw 4 seal matrix in total with a possible 5th which is just weird for any site, not sure of the hammy total but while not earth shattering it was quite respectable and feel that next week could be just as productive.
Many thanks for all who came and added to a brilliant day Wink

I did enjoy reading that report Rob. Well done indeed on putting it together so quickly, when you must have been very tired after a long day.

I think a great deal of thanks must go to those who helped make the day such a success. Without such back up support, the DW rallies simply couldn't function. Well done everyone, and of course well done to those who found items of interest.

Hopefully see you next week.

Cheers and happy hunting

Thanks for a great day out, especially on the best rally site ever ,
here are my best of the day.
A approx date for the beehive thimble would be appreciated please.
Also any ideas on the figure, it looks like a mount of some type, possibly a maddona but she's holding two babies


One small gripe / observation.
COULD THE INCONSIDIRATE BAS***D, HAVE FILLED THEIR HOLES IN ?!!  
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST FARMS I HAVE EVER DETECTED AND THE YOUR ACTIONS COULD JEPORDIZE OUR INVITATION BACK FOR FUTURE RALLIES.

Yip, I agree Ian, there were a lot of holes left unfilled. Look guys, even on stubble, as I always put in the directions email - we need to fill our holes in. How do we know that the farmers kids haven't got horses, they could easily snap a leg in an unfilled hole - aside from that, its not our farm, its the farmers and as such we respect other peoples property at all times.

ps Nice William Mary half penny Ian
