Title: Last two days
Post by: celticspikey on January 15, 2014, 07:46:19 PM
Hi, just a few finds from the last two days! the group shot is from a field that was put to pasture 15 years ago :( >:( it has produced a vast amount of medieval but these days I do not give it the time it deserves due to being pasture ??? however as it is wet and easy to dig I thought I would run the Deus over it and was pleased with the results, a nice Lizzy half groat ?? with no date or rose on (feel free to id) surfaced and a part of a medieval mirror case :) as you can see in parts of the field it mite have been wise to bring some fishing gear ??? I think I will be back to this old field to what else will turns up. Today I went back to the stubble field for a couple of hours plenty of signals ie lead and 303 cases, however this nice roman brooch turned up, a bit tired but lucky it survived as it has, I have been putting my own programmes in to the Deus to match the fields I am searching and I am pleased with the results and cant wait to try them out again. It really is a cracking bit of kit ;) ;)

Nice selection - given that most of what I find is on pasture and on fields that have been worked and worked and worked, I'd say it's always worth going back, especially if you've given them a bit of a rest for a while!

You're certainly doing well with the Deus Paul.  Crude but interesting buckle, looks like iron ??  I wont mention the coin Oh I just did. ;D  Well found.
