I know I said we were done at the Field but........

We couldn't decide where to hunt today, the park is too full of curious kids on weekends so we decided to look for new gorund out of town. No luck at the place we tried, and, as we had to pass it I decided ( to Carols disgust!) to give the Field another going over. I certainly raised her interest after digging two pennys in one hole followed by the English 6d. Only 26 coins today, but the 2 silvers made it worthwhile. The little badge is an Air New Zealand Jnr Jet Club badge.......never seen one before, and the Popeye brass is cute too. The remnants of yet another penknife, some old decimal and an undatable copper nickel shilling made up the other finds. Of the pennys 2 are Kiwi and the other  4 are British with the oldest being 1896.
