Here are my finds from the day. Have omitted the ton of lead I found but I am sure you all know what Lead looks like.Oldest coin a 1766 George 3rd Halfpenny  and also my first detector found cartwheel dated 1799 I think. Found two previously but surface eyes finds.

an interesting fact about cartwheel penny's is that they all have the date 1797 on them, yet they were minted over a 6 year period to 1803... they couldn't be bothered to change the date!!

cheers

No it ain,t Rob. The Red Herefordshire clay is usually kinder. Makes me think its not so much the soil and more what has been added to the soil when its been ploughed.

Small update on the ring . Sent pics of it to a specialist in Medieval artifacts today and he came back with a very firm 12th Century. Obviously thats without seeing it in the flesh but it certainly puts Walton Basin mans Date bang on the nose.

Would you say folks that this is a George 3rd Irish halfpenny. I can see the Harp and Crown on the reverse and the 17 is clear on the date but is it 66 on the other two numbers. The neck is most visible on the obverse but the neck is undraped and very slender which make me think female. Any suggestions folks.
