I had a few hours spare this afternoon,so I took the detecting stick for a walk on a local permission field.
Three hours of detecting turned up these few items (nothing special :():-

Sorry R,They don't really have any monetary value but they make up the majority of my militria collection.
Perhaps when I find more I may be tempted to part with them :)

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
 

Well,I had a reasonable days detecting (4hrs) on a local pasture permission today.
It started off with me digging lots of ring pulls,bottle tops and (s)crap and became more productive as I moved closer to the middle of the field.

The finds of note are:-

3 pre decimal halfpennies
2 old lids
1 two shilling coin
1 readers digest token
1 buckle
1 spoon,32p and 3 unknown (button?) objects.

Today, I decided to take a trip to the bottle dump with my detecting stick.
I found quite a few intresting bits including 4 new bottles (that I had to sneak in the house) :alright:

What a morning,I decided to take the detecting stick for a stroll on a local permission field.Within 10mins I had collected 7 pound coins and a nice little ring.
But the fun didn't stop there,I ended up finding 3 more rings,a (st Christopher?) pendant and a few predecimal coins :dancedog:

Any with hallmarks? The ring top middle looks to have something like one.
Some look like they might be gold plated with the plating flaking off.

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
 

No,I think they're just "tat" (just my luck :().
I can't think why so many rings would be in such a confined area (there isn't any water nearby). :confused:

I just checked a renowned auction site for the keyring I found today,I couldn't believe the price :eek:

Just because it's for sale for that price doesn't mean it's worth that price. If you set filter to sold listings you'll see it's real worth.
