FINALLY - Something worth posting...

[CRUSADER]

After the poor result yesterday I decided to go to the reserve field I have been gridding when Cru'Dad is away. (it's the last field in cycling distance) It's overgrown Wheat Stubble but is now somewhat soften. Not very good hunting for Dad & the Cortes but I got a head start & did 5 hours whilst he joined me for 2.5 hours. Foggy day but still mild

It sure took the edge off yesterday. This field is old stomping grounds but we have left it be for a few years, as we really hammered it in the early days. Glad to see it still has great finds 8)

Old stomping ground just shows you can never say ...nothing left on that field. Great find Cru

That Celtic silver unit looks as if weighs about a gram . Beautiful tiny old silver ! A needle in a haystack in that field ! Congrads on the coin and tying your 2008 record . I wish you another this year M.R.

Most of the hunting on this land was pre-xp

As our choices have multiplied, we like to rest some land, to allow the deep plouging to help us

Yes, just a little over 1g Another would be too much to hope for. I would have been happy with a hammered today, so this was a shock

They are a too rarer find for us to have any good stats but so far it's about 2/1 (Silver/Gold)

I hope so to, but it's been over 2 years now, so the next one will be a real pleasing sight
