I had a fun day!

[Oxgirl]

Yesterday I got to travel to a newish permission, nearly froze me bits off and found very little. The highlight was an open work belt mount, which I think is rather cute.

So today I went back to my favourite farm and decided to get back on the maize stubble field. Trouble is I have to go through a pasture field first and got rather distracted This field is hit and miss. Some days it gives you naff all and others it decides to be generous. Thankfully it was in a good mood today.

Second hole was a beehive thimble. Not the best nick but it made me smile anyway

Then it proceeded to offer up two nice buckles. It wasn’t till I cleaned them up I realised one had black enamel and the other has line decoration. I rather like them! Both were way deeper than pinpointer depth too. Here’s the decirated one (enamelled one in other photo below)

Then a nice repeatable deep sounding signal and 8” down out popped a William III love token sixpence, followed by the next hole, 20 feet away, my first ever silver button! Bit shiny cause I cleaned it

As I managed to drag myself into the stubble field I heard a booming signal and a couple of inches down I got what I thought was yet another piece of a skillet or similar. On cleaning up it looks like it’s decorated with a hound or something. Or am I imagining it? In the hand it really looks like it’s decoration anyway. Thoughts?

A bit of a pot leg, a net lead weight, a couple of old bronze rings, loads of buttons, bits of bronze things rounded the day off well. I enjoyed that and, for once, not a bag full of musket balls!

A reasonable return there, I've not had a decent buckle in ages.

A very good day indeed! I can see the "hound"....whether it is genuine, or not I have no idea...

A session of finds well worth finding anyway Cath. I`ve not been able to go detecting the last week due to me having lots of work on my front Garden to do, putting a new Flower bed in along the newly erected fence ,then finishing off with a length of edging stones, in which I came to grief yesterday when I had bought three further lengths of edging stones ready to finish the job , I went out again to buy some flowers for the new flower bed, came home and I got out of the car went around to the passenger side to retrieve thee trays of Pansy Flowers and as I went to walk away I tripped over the edging stones already down on this side of the path and went down like a felled Tree. 3 trays of flowers went flying from my hands and when I fell I hit the "new" edging stones leaning on others already laid and cracked 2 of them in half. The ends of Three fingers cut up ,a knee and elbow badly grazed and I now feel like I`ve gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson in the ring. So at least your Happy with what you did , and needless to say I`m not happy with what I did.

Gawd Bors Bet you are still feeling pretty sore. See all this gardening lark is dangerous and a waste of time. It never ends cause the darn things keep growing, it’s expensive and garden accidents are commonplace. Buy a flat with no personal garden space, or hire a concrete truck for a permanent solution

Seriously hope you are OK

Awe no Cath I really like Gardening (when its organised & Tidy) It`s just this new Fence was put up so it had to be put right and finished off with a new edging otherwise the soil added in would have run over onto the path,so yeah it`s had to to be done right . I find a Gardens easy to manage when of course its done in a manageable way . If its just left as a mish mash then it can be hard work maintaining it but I`d call my Garden, " easily manageable ". But of course it can come at a cost ,if you trip over in it and bash yourself up !

Not a bad session, Cath.
Can also see the Hound.
Nice Silver button.
What was the date on the George V Penny ? You know how i like detail.
Wrap yourself up next week, overnight freezings, with very low daytime temps. Avoiding the low temps, was the only good point about missing 3 months of detecting.
Good luck on your next detecting sessions,
Dave
