Well its getting late in the season and it was really cold today, the puddles stayed frozen, the frost in the ground was hard to punch through in places and the wind was bitter. Me and Iron Patch had to bundle up pretty good and it was hard to stay and keep warm.
We had every intention on heading back to the field we scored some nice buttons in last week for a reprise. It wasn't to be, we were beaten there today by hunters who were setting up for a hunt too. We decided to move on, so, in the words of IP; " They got guns, we got detectors, who's going to win?"
We got on the road again and headed out for a famililar area and ended up in a couple of fields we hunted before without finding any new sites to pick on. Although the sites were thin there were still a few finds.
My first signal was what I thought was merely a worn smooth shilling, but after cleaning I saw it was counterstamped with SPD, nice to see something new again! Also, a token I've never found before, a 1810,1 quarto from Gibraltar, with a lion and castle key, saying,Payable at James Spittle's, new one for me!
Other than a few buttons and pieces of field trash, the only other thing to show up was the lion head, looks like something from a drawer pull or something like that, it's a neat piece.
Here's hoping the weather cooperates and we get to get at least one more shot at something good!
