More goldies and Silver from the park

The weather was forecast for rain this evening, but as luck would have it the sun shone so we headed back to the park for a quick goldie hunt before dinner. For the first time ever, I saw another person detecting in the park. Gave him a wave but he continued on his way swinging high and fast..............A beginner perhaps. We had picked up a couple of goldies and the other detectorist had made himself scarce so I decided to go over the same ground I saw him do. BINGO! 2 silver rings and a silver earing...........Ok they were all somewhat squashed but I managed to  form the rings back into shape. The last target of the evening, just on dark was the mother of pearl handled pocket knife. Most of these finds were in the same ground the other bod had been over. There are lots of bottle caps in here, some very new and some very old and rusty......all register in the same range as copper and silver on the F4. I have learned it is better to dig 10 bottle caps to find the 11th is a silver ring than to miss out!

  2. Thanks Chris, I guess I'm lucky with work.........I start most mornings at 7 so if I have no other commitments I can get away at 4ish. The down side is when we are ready to delver a project I am on call 24/7, so I do try to make hay while the sun shines!
