Today’s Finds xx

[blossom]

A cold morning here, frosty first thing, but as sleet and rain forecast tomoz we felt we had to be brave today!

With shooting season in full swing and a lot of our fields flooded we went to the old Courthouse field not much except lead here now, so we went through into the next field which is a bog… I stayed on the margins nd let himself brave the squishy bit! 😆 xx

First of a little lead bag seal, always nice to find, then the usual musket balls, a couple of lead bits, squashed thimble, some kind of pin, buckle bits, some kind of catch thing, spoon handle and stylus, bronze pin, buttons, couple of pre dec coins, a George 1st (I think) and my first silver of the year, 1866 Victoria six pence.

Pics of Himself’s mud amalgamation… because it amused me 😆 xx

Well done getting your first silver for the 2025 season.
It looks a tad sticky it does.

Great finds and even greater photography.Well done!

Absolutely splendid recoveries!
Congrats!

Your silver sure traveled through a lot of hands....

Building pic begs permitted investigation of course. It's upper floor perhaps a prior roof before it was a ceiling? Or it's how floored is all...

Himself looks a tad bit taller.

Amazing that no matter where you go, even a bog, you find neat, old relics and coins!

Great finds as always blossom. You get extra credit for braving the cold, and sniffing out that silver. I love the pic of Himself and those muddy, muddy boots. That shot speaks volumes! Well done.

The question is, did he detect the mud after scraping off the boots?

Some very interesting bits there, and of course a silver!
Makes for a good workout walking around with boot weights.
