Yes we do have pull-tabs over this side of the big water but thankfully they are a rare species.

Finds from an old gymkhana/point-to-point/fox hunting meeting field.

Previous a grass field for about 50 years before being put back to arable land a few years ago.

Thanks for looking..................Doug.

Serious stubble!

All the finds.

Various artefacts

Coins modern and pre decimal.

Livery button.

Medieval hammered silver coin. (remains of)

Badge.

You got some great finds there Doug! You may have dug more pull tabs in one day than I have in my metal detecting career but I see you also scored some silver, a cart wheel penny and the always dandy hammered silver! Great hunt!!!

Many thanks.

100% of the land I search is private land with very little public access so the pull-tabs and the like is not a great problem, iron a big problem!

Thanks,

Pull tabs are the exception rather than the rule but I do know this field holds a lot although I am reducing them year on year.
