I had a few very badly corroded coins with these items.

Top right looks like shrapnel from an anti-aircraft shell. (WW2 pill box down on the shingle bank)

What a brilliant rally. It was great to be out with Detecting Wales again. I had a fantastic day with some nice finds, these were two belt fittings ( found within a few feet of each other ), a George penny, a 1838 Victoria six pence, a buckle, buttons and quite a bit of lead. I want to thank rob and all involved for providing us with another brilliant rally. Also a great write up. Thanks again Detecting Wales.

Many thanks to all for organising the rally and for making the day really special for me. Still can't quite believe I found something gold, my first gold anything ever, the coin is lovely. And then managed a little while later to find an intact arrowhead, never found a whole one before. It is a textbook example as you can see by the illustraion. This type of flint arrowhead is called a HOLLOW BASE ARROW and dates to 2500-1500 BC. Apparently these are harder to find than the earlier leaf shape types and later barbed and tanged types, so I am very pleased. Thanks again, Jon.

Roman belt fitting from rally

In my opinion, these are circa 17th century and not Roman sorry - still nice finds though!

That is a fantastic arrowhead. I kept my eyes out for flint all day, but didn't see anything worth bothering with.

Would love to have found one Smiley (as I've only ever found a leaf shaped one, and a half sovereign - both in the same field, but 20 years apart Smiley )

Fantastic rally I had a great day out  and I was especially happy with my silver George 1V half crown and then to round the day off I found a hammered coin what a nice end to the day.

Thank you Rob it was a really good rally cant wait to go back there. Smiley Smiley

Well in addition to my Sovereign Penny, I also found a large lead token / medal. It took me a day or two to get around to looking at it, but (quite aptly) it is a Welsh Peace Medal from 1919.

I've attached an image of a replica one I found on eBay, though I'm guessing the one I have is probably an original.
