Arry 21,718 Posted April 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Out today few bit and pieces. Think this is a hammered Nuremberg Jeton 16th Century. Don't know what this is maybe lead alloy got some detail on one side. Then this strange object it seems to have a lead diamond shape like a plaque attached to pottery. Any ideas guys ???

Popular Post Arry 21,718 Posted May 3, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Well out today windy as f**k ground was hard work with sensitivity few buttons and pennies and crap was about to give up as the farm as been hit hard by a club. Then hit a Roman Dolphin brooch gave me a bit of heart. Had a sandwich had another try hit a William 3rd 1697 sixpence, so it was not a wash out. Farmer is old mate from biking days said I could go anywhere. Good bit of ferreting there next season to boot. Cheers Arry 19 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nokta Makro Simplex+ Waterproof Metal Detector Can't speak on the Simplex Coywolf but I can recommend the Minelab Vanquish 540 which I started with two years ago. To be fare it don't miss much it's not waterproof but up to now I don't detect in the rain. The coil and shaft are waterproof just not the machine part so fine for the beach. It's very very easy to use just switch on and go. Just up graded to a Minelab Equinox 800 (waterproof)which is better but a lot more complicated, still getting my head around it. Couldn't turn it down second hand only used three times half price. Lot of people like the Garret 250. Cheers Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,689 Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 Found this just across the river from a Roman settlement. Is it semi modern or does it have some real age to it? Some sort of drain? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Encouraging though been a long wait for some rain to make the ground damp again. Cheers Arry 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
