Hey hey diggers!
As you have guessed by now we are back on the fields !
It's only a couple of weeks short of a year since I've been out detecting. My hectic work schedule took over in May of last year and kept me so busy til December that I missed the entire fall last year...oh well things like this happen.
In that time I got a new machine...a new Nokta Legend, so I had to get on some fields and give it a try. Along with Iron Patch we hit a couple of our favourite old haunts to see what's been left behind.
I like the light weight and the lack of headphone wires on the Legend, I dug non stop all day and filled my pouch and had a couple of nice targets along the way.
I got on the board with a half penny token from the 1830s which was toasty but a good find. Then all the way to the end of the day til I got a military button...local militia from the 1790s. This size cuff is a new one for me..although crusty it is a keeper. Also from the same site my first silver! This French one was totally unexpected and the first time I've ever seen or heard of this one...a 30 sols( 1/4 ecu) from 1792 !
Kind of worn out but a winner in my books.
Hopefully we can get out and dig up some great relics and coins in the next few weeks before the man says you gotta work for a living but for now I'm happy to detect!
