I’ve detected this farm site at least twenty times since the end of December in the hope of finding at least one more badge and today was the day!


I found this British Officers Horse Badge in a far corner of the field at least a half kilometer from the farmhouse; how it got there, I haven’t a clue. It was partially buried and still has some of the leather inside the mounting posts. Some of my other finds from today were an early tombac button, 3 more Isaac Campbell Loops (to-date I’ve dug 100+ at this site), a small brass flower (part of a brooch?) and assorted buckles. There were very few signals in the general area where I found the badge today; this one is definitely a mystery.

I have included a Google Maps shot of the site showing where all the badges have been found so far. I have identified on the map the location of the farmhouse and where the stone barn foundations are located in the overgrowth.
Thanks for looking,
Dave
