Your finds are fantastic, would love to tag along with you're day just to watch you in action. It would take me a few life times to come close to matching your collection.
Congrats!!
 

Great days out! How was the shotgun shells to finds ratio this time? Congrats on some more early Saxon finds!

Only about 1/1. Worried me that first time around we cleared it out pretty good.
 

Cru that's a lot of hours put in by you and dad. Think by back would be screaming. :thumbsup:

My backs pretty good right now. I have to switch arms from time to time.
 

Every time I see your posts I'm amazed! I'd have my year made to find a coin 200 years old and here you find all this stuff. I can't even fully appreciate it because I don't know what any of it is. Makes me jealous lol. Great finds!
 

Excellent couple of hunts Cru. I like that buckle and clasp. How come the silver only came out when Cru'dad hunted? Lol.

Cheers
 

You both had another killer hunt, congratulations! :notworthy:

The best part is you are spending time with your dad doing what you both love! :icon_thumleft:

Actually both silvers where found by me when Cru'Dad wasn't present.
 

All great finds as always. I really like that coin with Romulus, Remus & the wolf. Very appealing design. Congrats & thanks for sharing!
 

A threehalfpence, that is quite the denomination. No wonder you don't have many, first I've heard of that strange bird.
More than a couple nice romans too.
I agree with the fellow that said it's great to spend quality time with your dad. I've never done that let alone regularly. I consider you lucky for that let alone all the great finds.
Keep it up.
 

What a great surprise on the Lizzy. The other finds are outstanding, and some of the scrappies aren't so scrappy. :D

I'd say that's an all around success!

Cheers,

Buck
 

THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS.

It's silly season, with too many fields & not enough time. Got the energy though...lol
 

Thanks for sharing your hunt. Really excellent condition on many of the coins. Congratulations.
 

Wow wow woooow
It was worth the effort. In these hot days it's the best reward alongside a cold beer!
Cheers Cru and good luck
