Even if it's a fake it's still a nice find. Very old fake. lol. Good work :) I've a few old silver coins (that I know are real. lol) that tarnished very yellow...maybe the real thing still...

As the others have said. Fantastic. Love both the ring and the silver dollar. Good work mate :)

You're the ID master Tombs. Thanks :) I did enjoy it a lot. Nice change. I would like to get on more fields. Not having a car makes it a bit difficult. (Living in London and not knowing anyone...

Hey lads :) Well... it was a beautiful part of the country. Rolling hills filled with sheep and very curious cows (Young ones mostly who were very curious along the lines of... You're digging a...

Thanks lads. It will be nice to have a change from the chaos of the foreshore. It will be weird to not be constantly swamped with readings probably... assuming the pasture isn't a buried junk yard....

Thanks guys! I thought the farthing was interesting rather than valuable. It's actual die errors that make for value I'd presumed, like sideways letters etc. But thought I'd ask what more...

That all looks like a very good day out! Lovely hammies. And the other bits are a nice spread. Good stuff :)

Yes. Can't leave them there... I've gathered a lot of nice naval, military and livery ones over time... but for every one of those I've got up about 50 little flat modern buttons of no great...

Awl is a small hand tool. Bronze age all the way through I think. I've got a bronze age one ... so I suggested it because it was the most exciting idea I could come up with looking at the item. ...

Good selection of finds :) The bow shaped piece looks a little like an awl, but would need to see more shots of it from different angles. Sure folk with many more years of digging up ?'s will be...

Fantastic finds. Congratulations! Such age to them and wonderful condition. :)

Nice work mate! Always happy to see someone capturing a celt! :)

Fantastic coin mate :) Been looking through my favoured website for identifying romans and that's not getting me far. Obverse looks similar to this Sicilian one? ...

I'm not unacquainted with belly dancing clubs, in my travels. Highly enjoyable establishments. If that's what they turn out to be that's okay with me. Lol

Just found this video. Fantastic stuff. Added to my frustration though... lol... I have a close family friend whose parents own a farm in Devon that has never been detected (well, that they know of...

Thanks lads :) It's giving up things at the moment... if it wasn't for some rash promise of family time tomorrow I'd be back down there in the morning again. lol!

I'm an expert at believing I've found an ancient wonder and then later on realising it's something much more modern and mundane. lol. Always worth asking! Now the rest of us (Tombs excepted, as he...

Wow! What a cracking session. Well done mate :) Stewart - The little silver coin with the shields is a Commonwealth (the period after the English Civil War and before the restoration of the...

It was really shining when I retrieved it (the coin). Was a great surprise, given the strip it was in is normally only stuffed with rotting 2p's. lol. Worked out the religious symbols on the ring...

Thanks. They were both in a sandy area, like beach sand, so you're probably right about the polishing effect of sand. Find them in all sorts of tones and conditions of course, all areas of the...

Fantastic work mate :) It shows that intuition is involved in detecting... I get it a fair bit on the river before a good find (albiet there's no way to prove it.). A feeling I should go back over...

Dear Mrs. P, I'm very pleased to be able to reunite you with your wedding band so sadly lost in the aforementioned boat trip on the Thames. Unfortunately, like most married men who find the best...

Thanks :) I have to admit the first photo is a recreation of the discovery and not the actual moment itself... given that I literally plucked the ring out of the churning sand as bow waves of...
