Looks good. Is that a crop or just grass? That stuff is hard to hunt in for me. You kill me... just a common victorian coin.

I'd take it anyday over concrete Come to Oklahoma, you will never complaing about digging in the UK again BTW, I like where you're hunting. Nice and quiet, no rednecks yelling at you or peeling out in their pickup trucks. I've hunted pasture land before and I like it very much compared to hunting in town. Ticks and chiggers are a different story however. :o(

one good thing about pastureland is that if it ancient pasture then any post items are usually in superb condition due ot lack of ploughing and chemicals on the land...

on ploughed and stubble fields we over here in the UK dig loads of manky georgian copper coins from those huge 1797 cartwheel pennies to farthings... had tins full of the damn things and weighed em in for scrap years ago.

what do you do with yours si?

LOVE IT! Keep the camera with you Simon and show us a pic of the scenery around each one of your great finds. I promise I won't download them and try to figure out where you hot spots are
