Today we went back to one of our favorite places from our three years of hunting here. The rain poured down this afternoon and it turned cold quickly about 4pm. One of our foursome had detector problems this aftenoon in the rain. My detector also gave me fits with an apparantly bad coil. Clarence is putting our backup on and we will hope that corrects it. With my equipment problem today I didn't have much to show for my efforts. Clarence, however, found a silver hawking bell that has been reported as treasure. The bells were attached to the hawks before sent off to hunt so the handler could hear where the hawk was. Clarence also found a hammered silver coin.One of our housemates found a beautiful pre-1500 braided gold ring. Outstanding!
Another group of Northwesterners came in this evening. A group of five from Washington, Idaho and Alaska. They seem like a nice group and we will see them tomorrow in the field. Also, Chicago Ron's group will have two new members coming tomorrow and we are anxious to finally meet them. We all know each other from the internet but have never met.
Tomorrow will be our last day. Hard to believe it's been a week already. The taxi will pick us up at 6:30am Saturday for the trip back to Heathrow. Hope for gold tomorrow! It's our last chance for this trip.
