I went out on Sunday thanks to an invite from a member of www.DetectingWales.com. Had a great time and the weather Gods were pretty kind to us I made a few interetsing finds including a George III sixpence (1819), A Victoria shilling (Jubilee 1889) which were next to each other on a grassy knole! And no I didn't shoot JFK!
A couple of hours later I also found a cut half that I believe is Henry III (1216-1272). I was particularly pleased as this was the first cut half I have ever found and it was only 3-4 inches down on pasture!
A few other interesting finds including my first love token (he must have been skint as its a George II farthing!) I never find the thngs, where as my one mate finds them virtually every time we go out. Anyway its one to cross off. A couple of nice condition coppers and my weekly pidgeon rings! ( I always find these flaming things!)
The one thing that does have me stumped is the item in the top left hand of the total finds picture. I now know that it was used to measure distance attached to a metals chain inthe 17th Century - 18th century.
A great day for me as I managed to shake my 3 months and not a sniff of silver hex - then 3 in one day!
