Day Five

This morning we returned to another new field, adjacent to yesterday's new field. By lunch time, we were getting desperate to hear a tone that wasn't an iron tone. We did find a lead token, bale seals, an interesting weight, and more mini balls, buttons, shotgun shells, and greenies. I also found a racing pigeon band, without the pigeon. OH...I can't forget my big coin find...a 1994 Two Pence...not exactly a rare coin.

After a lunch of Cornish pasties we went to a huge area near a old church. We were in search of a gold coin and this field has given up many in the last couple of years. I wish I had a pedometer today because I know I walked miles trying to find a Celtic gold. Once again, we were skunked. At least we came home to a fabulous salmon dinner with roasted potatoes and baked squash. Yummy!

Tomorrow, we have picked two areas we haven't been to this week. With only two detecting days left, the pressure is on. The weather has been fabulous, if not downright warm. All the layers of winter weight clothes are still in the suitcase. Will tomorrow be the big day with gold or silver???? Stay tuned...
