I do wonder what the journey of such a rare coin could have been. A medieval Scottish halfpenny issued under John Balliol (1292-1296) Minted in St Andrews, found in Suffolk, a journey of around 460 miles. IOHANNES DEI GRA CIV ITA SAN DRE

My better Roman brooches are on display in an old, but clean letterpress drawer. With the addition of a glazed door they are safe and sound 🥰

Shadow and light. Interesting effect of my work light shining through hinge side of door 😊

All my Mary groats. To find a good one is a very rare thing.

Found on this day in 2022 A really rather good Groat of Mary I 🥰 AD 1553-1554 These are generally found in terrible condition.

When I first ventured out in this detecting game I very basically recorded my finds in a "Black n' Red" notebook. This lasted from 1989 - 2005 but was not really satisfactory. When we finally got a PC, recording in a database was soon to follow, and is still going strong today.

The difficult bit is getting the permission. I was lucky and acquired mine through work contacts. Never had to knock on doors, or write letters.

This evenings treasures 🥰 A couple of hammered coins, an Edward farthing and Elizabeth penny. 1940's halfpenny. Medieval buckle & Strap connector. Medieval key. Silver chain, and my favourite being the incomplete lead Boy Bishop.

I bet your bedside clock isn't 6ft tall, and stands by the end of your bed, mine does 😂🤣 (last night as I snuggled down 🤭)

This was a footplate ride with a difference. We took it in turns under steam, using the corridor in the tender.

Today I was targeting Roman silver, specifically my only 2 Siliqua find spots, found within a week of each other. Probability tells me there ought to be at least another there, but not today. Have to make do with a penny, halfpenny and a countermarked halfpenny.

Walnuts in the middle of a field, not a tree in sight. This is down to crows picking them from under a tree, flying to a favourite field, where they will continuously drop them till they break I've seen this in Yorkshire, but they were smart up there, they dropped on the road
