Victorian Race Course Grand Stand...

[CRUSADER]

Dad is away & I'm meant to be resting my arm :P

Yesterday I was researching a grass field that I have paid little attention to as its never been ploughed. However, found out it had a race course on the 1880s map with a grand stand. It seemed to go out of use before WWI but no idea when it started

Spent 3 hours in front of the grand stand & got:

3 Georgian Halfpennies in 1 hole - my first Georgian spill - 12"
Couple of other Geo's which makes me wonder if the race course is quite old.
A few Victorian coins
£3.30 spendable change (about $5)
Silver Ring - childs
Spade guinea gaming token - holed
Brass piece with 'Coach Maker' - DUBLIN

Best find WWI Military Capbadge complete with pin & a type I need

So better than resting at home I guess

Nice Finds!
Man, here in the States we'd be all over a site like that but I keep forgetting the area you're in and the finds you're capable of.
Hope that arm heals soon!

Its an ongoing detecting issue, my back is mostly better, but the 'large coil & sticky mud' have taken there toll over the last few weeks.
