First Hammered of 2025! 😎 xx

[blossom]

Ahh the joy of winter digging …. Hard frost over night means digging the signals is a challenge in the morning, but by the afternoon the defrosting mud makes for slippery going and slimy mud everywhere!

Not sure what this first one is, it looks like it had 4 prongs off it originally, same for the next one but feels Roman! Then I found this fantastic little spoon, couple of buckles, then 2 pics of the next one, like a clog strap but bigger, nice little complete thimble, then a bashed one with a corset stay, belt loop, modern buckle, 3 Livery buttons, buttons, pre dec, Victoria six pence (Himself’s first silver of the year) 2 scrappy Romans, then my glorious short cross cut hammered, makes the freezing cold, mud and constant nose running totally worth it!

Now the long wait till next weekend! 🙁 xx

That sure is a smooth looking Vickie, then again it came from a smooth operator.😁
I tip me hat to your lovely cut short cross, your certainly on your game.

The first one looks familiar but can't place it, the second one is ah ah ah you know one of those things.
Senior brain fart happened. 🤣

Liking the buttons 👌
Great to see you got out and found some great looking stuff.

Great finds and great photography. That black and white landscape makes it feel like winter.

What a great start to the year!
Our calendar year starts here now too, but not our metal detecting one!

That's a metal detector's paradise there. There's so much to find.

WTG on the finds, looking like you also found a 1934 Lincoln Memorial Cent, aka a wheatie based on the back.
