Today,secretly wanting the tractor to still be broke,I decided to go back to the farm and have a few hours detecting.
It wasn't to be,as I drove down the lane I could see the tractor and farmer in what I'm calling 'the good field'.
I decided to detect in the field nearest to the road,I'm not over keen on it as you always get folk wanting to chat as they walk by,if I had a pound for everytime I've heard "have ya found owt?".
As I was detecting away,is wasn't long when I heard it "have ya found owt?" a voice shouted.I looked up and there was a chap giving me the universal 'thumbs up' hand gesture (could of been worse).
I walked over and had a chat with him,as we discussed the best places to search (everyone's got a story) a funeral passed by.
As a sign of respect, I took my cap off and the chap said "that's nice of you"
As quick as a flash,I couldn't help saying " yes,well we was married for 30yrs"......his face was a picture
Anyhow,on with the finds,the finds of note are:-
2 threpences
1 lady's watch
1 S shaped item (probably used to hang a oil lamp?)
1 two shillings coin
1 lead bag seal
1 (1800's) penny
1 (1800's) half penny
