Shaun7, Hammered & I joined up to search some new land that Shaun7 had only done a short hunt on. It looked very inviting with a large part of it being on a steep hill, we got out the car thinking Iron Age or Roman would be possibilities on such a great looking piece of landscape. We soon found out it was going to be a struggle of a day & we fanned out in a desperate attempt to find any good early signs. None of us got a sniff of even Medieval & I knew it was a tough day when I took a Musket Ball as a good sign, plus a few tombacs :P
I was somewhat pleased to dig a complete crotal bell (still rings) & happier to see a deep silver pop up.
When I got home & I checked to see if the 1838 Shilling was better than the one in my collection (I buy as well as find). I was surprised to find I had not left a space for a 1838 (schoolboy error, as it was a first issue & on another page of the book, therefore it never went on my list to buy)
So I've made space for my latest addition 
Which brightens a somewhat hard days hunt.
