after a invite off our good friend Paul ( Waltonbasonman ) myself & Melonhead went up to Herefordshire,we got up there around 9-30am and Paul was waiting for us ,Paul told us that we had 4 fields( pasture ) to detect on plus a apple orchard,we went to the first field and straight away Paul found a nice William & Mary penny in not bad condition, after a few buttons and ointment tubes we decided to go into another field, where we all had some Vicky & Georgian pennies,Paul and i also in that field both found watch winder keys, then we decided to have a bit of lunch and sat down and chatted about times out detecting and with our good friend farmer Phil,also chatted about D.W. rallies we have been on,the farmer stopped on his tractor pulling a unit full of apples and chatted with us telling Melonhead & i about going to school with Paul. after lunch we went into the apple orchard with a lot of apples on the ground , we had been in there about half hour and a signal i had under one of the tree's and dug up a nice George 3rd Shilling 1816 after a rub with the fingers came up nice ,and withing another half hour dug up a cut half of a Elizabeth 1st sixpence, it seem to be cut on purpose but not to sure, Melonhead by this time was hunting more purposely for silver as he did not want to go home with the famous banana we get every weekend we go out detecting ;D ;D :D,later on we went to another two fields but not a lot came up ,a very nice day we did have up in Herefordshire and the weather was sunny most of the day. thanks Paul for the invite up to detect ,  ;) photos to follow.............can you spot melonhead. :D

Enjoyed reading that Kev - well done on the silvers. Odd to find a cut sixpence.

Neil

great finds, but who got the banana  ??????

this chap got the banana ........................ ;D ;D :D :D

top banana melonhead

Nice going you three, I love that Georgy lovely condition. Looking at that Lizzy and the slight "curl" at the edge, I would say that's the tell tale sign of a bend that has snapped the coin. The good part of that is, the other half is probably still there somewhere. ;)

Very nice finds there, what a lovely place to detect, just think of all the potential scrumpy ;)

Well done guys. Mark looks like you dont like bananas mate

It was a good day and thanks for the write up Kev as we lost our home hub Friday but the man from BT turned up this morning and fixed us. Had loads of signals on what was a virgin farm although I had got permission 3 years ago. I was so worried we would find nothing I barely slept Friday night but now we know its there we can go back when the animals come in and I did not tell them he has another 150 acres across the road. Herefordshire is a great county for detecting and I am glad you enjoyed your trip lads. Here,s Kevs Liz  Ist

Kevs other silver from Herefordshire his fine George III shilling.

well done guys,looks a tidy site,i have got another farm on that strech about half mile from there and to be honest for a modern road ,theres a hell of a lot of history down it,,,,nice finds guys.

You know you are going to have a good day when your detecting buddy for the day turns up in his ROY CROPER lucky cardy.  :D :D :D

I think Mark enjoyed his day as well though we did have to drag him out the field before it got dark.  ;D ;D ;D Just Joking Mark.

Before the landscape park, railway and tramway sliced the village the mainroute east west and north south sliced through the area and none of the modern roads existed in the area pre 1789. We barely touched the farm Paul.

Great Pics Paul.  Kev looks as if he's teeing up his golf shot and I don't think Mark has quite understood the name "Golden delicious"  ;D

Love it Chef. I do have some offers in the pipe line for the over 55,s if you know what I mean on a different farm and the battlefield site is still on in the not to distant future if you are interested.

OK First lets get one thing straight all you nosey parkers >:(....the 55 bit is not a reference to the lower age limit....right ??? lol
Yes Paul I would definitely be up for it, thanks mate ;)

Looks like you were well and truly Stumped this time Mark and pipped to the finds. ;D

The George 111 shilling does it for me.

Nice photo's and day out by the look of it.  :)

well done boys looks like you all had a great day out,don't worry mark you have to let someone else have the finds now and again  ;) ;) and pass the banana over next time.viv

Here are three quarters of my diggable signals from the day. The rest are in the hedge after a big field readjustment to my pocket.

After a sort and a clean these are the finds that tell me a bit of history of the fields we searched. Medieval to Post Med so far.

good range of finds there mate well done

The insignificant looking button is made by C Jennens of London which is the first button I have found with the makers name on it and I have found a lot of buttons in the last four years.
