The lure of the "Field"............
...........Called us back this afternoon in search of some more steer shortened grass. We were not dissapointed, 44 coins, with 5 more silvers, an old watch, part of the dial from a barometer and the usual old decimal. We did the corner with the Tui caps and cleaned out about 20 or so with the reward being a penny and one of the silver shillings. All the other goodies came from grass that was short enough to swing over. I keep saying that we must have cleaned it out but I think until the day we come home with nothing we will keep going back.

Interesting as it seems all your silver from this site is Kiwi coin.
ReplyDeleteWe were just saying that yesterday too, apart from 1 solitary Aussie shilling on the first hunt there, all the silver has been Kiwi. Have had plenty of British pennys and 1/2 pennys and a couple of Aussie pennys but no British silver.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the locals were hoarding the English silver due to the 90% content. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery Nice! i am still researching to find similar field.. so far only individual tress ;-) (got another one this weekend that produced 2 6x pences and some pennys)
ReplyDeleteANyway, i have a suggestion about that tall grass that you can not detect- grab a scyther and quickly clean the area - that what Russian Metal Detectorists do when they come to an area that was village/town and now plain empty wild Field
