Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
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  ):-image.jpg

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. image.jpg Sorry if they are hard to see

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
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)  image.jpg

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
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  image.jpg

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
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. Last edited by gpick24; 11-10-2016 at 15:38. |

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).  image.jpeg

Re: Metal Detecting (Including Finds).
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.
