My detecting this time of the year is on some serious diet. With the unbearably hot weather and the serious lack of available detecting sites, I have only managed to get out a few times last week and only for a couple of hours. I still managed to get a few decent relics and coins.

Got a few military finds.

British 31st Regiment of foot enlisted men button (1784 type) in a very good shape.

War of 1812 British 41st of foot.

A Brown Bess musket butt stock marked with the broad arrow. Unfortunately, the part containing the regiment number is missing.

Also, found a few coins.

A nice Upper Canada 1820 Halfpenny in a great shape. My first one of this type.

Strangely, found my first and second George IV coin. They are uncommon as he had a short reign.

Makes me want to move to Canada. Nothing like that around here. Gary

Well it depends on the relics that interest you. For example, I very rarely find stone tools or weapons. They are more common where you are I believe
