Back from a 4 hour freezing wet hunt this morning, tried to hold on longer but couldn't feel my finger tips.
14 more silvers, silver ring and GOLD with Silver ring and vintage Minnie mouse to match the mickey mouse badge I found a few months back.

Perhaps Eric, you should change your name to "Thrupence". Now let me think. In my day an ice-block. Cost thrupence. Lollies were three a penny. Your choice Eric. Is it the lollies or the Ice Block.

Lol wouldn't mind Shilling..although I heard the word shilling is something to do with cows, half crown and florin sound a bit fairy like..yeah threepence will do, seem to find alot of those, all the left overs from detectorists before me

Congrats mate, you thoroughly deserve to be at 700 with all the time and effort you put in.
You're such a silver machine, I wouldn't put it passed you hitting 900 for the year.

The wee 9ct brooch is an awesome find. It's gotta be very old I reckon judging by the depth it came up from......and 19 silvers for the day......speechless.......
