Title: Braved the weather Post by: Chef Geoff on October 27, 2013, 03:07:18 PM Out this morning for a trip over the bridge to a SCAN dig near Chepstow.
Well as I've posted before my best finds always seem to be at the beginning or very end of a session and today was to be no different with my first three diggable signals giving me my only finds worth showing. The very first was a little iffy but a digger and a worthwhile dig it was as it's my first hammy for two months and was a Lizzy halfgroat, next was a spectacle buckle in nice condition quickly followed by a Roman Grot. So an artifact, Roman and hammy all in the space of 10 minutes :o.........sadly that was my quota with only a couple of buttons and foil in the proceeding 2 hours. The weather was worsening by the minute virtually and so with the prospect of having to drive back to Somerset via Gloucester if I left it too late, I left. A pleasant morning in pleasant company...though I did see one scary face................................Hi Rambo ;D ;D (http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv294/Chef_02/scan271013.jpg) Title: Re: Braved the weather Post by: Kev on October 27, 2013, 03:09:38 PM Very nice collection Chef .

Title: Re: Braved the weather Post by: Chef Geoff on October 27, 2013, 05:18:23 PM No haven't done the headphones yet, that's a job for tomorrow. Etrac worked fine, I decided to practice what I preach and just dug the low tones and avoided looking at the screen.
Dale you are sooo right! I thought "wow this is going to be hell of a day" :-[ Title: Re: Braved the weather Post by: Seasider on October 27, 2013, 06:22:24 PM Well done Geoff and there I was thinking you came a long way in poor weather, for nothing. Nice to see you.

Title: Re: Braved the weather Post by: celticspikey on October 27, 2013, 08:47:01 PM Out this morning for a trip over the bridge to a SCAN dig near Chepstow. He who dares Geoff, good result mate ;) ;)Well as I've posted before my best finds always seem to be at the beginning or very end of a session and today was to be no different with my first three diggable signals giving me my only finds worth showing.

Apart from Mike's Bristol farthing, I think you had the best three finds of the day! Now all I have to do is get used to the E-Trac (new noises and the weight-lifting aspects). Title: Re: Braved the weather Post by: Chef Geoff on October 28, 2013, 02:17:56 PM Yes likewise, the grot turned out to be an "Urbs" so you were spot on with 4th ;)
