Folks

Hope you don't mind I have started this thread for you to add your finds from today.
If we could all add what we found with pictures of anything of interest, so I can compile some pictures for the landowner, he was really interested and spent some time talking to us at the end of the day.
We now have a great site here with a very interested land owner

T2 finds silver again (William III 1697 sixpence - love token) also a nice selection of bullets/musket balls. And a very odd hand carved button with what looks like medieval crosses?

Nothing of note for me today, I had 3 William 111 pennies, 3 spindle whorls,  a number of musket balls, buttons. a couple of copper coins too far gone to identify.
lovely day out mind, with as always a great bunch of people.
 It was warm enough to be a spring day

Sorry I missed it. Fell ill last night. Bluddy bug. Looking forward to seeing people's finds.

I will post these pics for Sharkey, though I am sure he has better ones, apologies for the quality of my pics

First an Elizabeth 1 half groat, much better condition than my picture shows.

 



Secondly a William111 shilling





He very kindly donated these to the landowner, who we saw at the end of the day, he was well chuffed with them, he gave them to his son to take to school to show his history teacher, he was also given a number of spindle whorls musket ball and other small items all donated from our members, his face was a picture his small son said next time we go he will be putting his wellies on and coming in the fields with us. great PR folks, thank you.

Great day out today. best find by me today

Nice day out, thanks Mark.
1862 penny in nice condition because it hadn't been corroded by the soil acid. Georgian halfpenny- which had been badly got at by acid. Couple of musket pistol balls, part of a Georgian fancy belt buckle. Usual buttons and what I thought was a 1st century Roman coin which turned out to be a flat pebble because I had left the target in the hole having been convinced by seeing the flat pebble with my lousy eyesight. Target was a piece of tin can at 9 inches. Age and failing eyesight is not a good combination.
