Hello all,
Now much of the hay has been cut and baled I have been able to return to a field that I started last year. I missed the boat last time, managing one session before the grass was too long again, and have been waiting to have a good look ever since. The ground was surprisingly soft and easy to sink the blade of my spade into. I managed to tease out a few signals amongst all of the iron and the finds date from about 1680 (buckle) to modern day (Euros!). I did well with Victorian brooches, buckles, George 3rd Ha'pennies, two dog ID tags, and other bits and bobs including very rough Sixpence, a cricket themed buckle plate and a Scots Guard!
Many thanks,
b.
