Another beautiful Spring day in the UK and I have the sunburned neck to prove it. It was in the 60's today and the coat and fleece layer were shed within the first hour. The nice weather was certainly the highlight of the day today. We were on the field that gave up the beautiful Roman gold coin a few days ago and we had high hopes. No such luck. The Chicago team had just pounded that field after the gold was found. Clarence and I couldn't find a spot of dirt in which to step that didn't have an assortment of footprints already.
My big finds of the day were two greenies, a decorative hinge, a nifty cover for a pocket watch, and yet another keyhole for a skeleton key. In eight trips here, I have never found one of these keyholes before. Now I have found four and from four different fields. Clarence did better than me today. He found two watch winders, a thimble, several greenies, a set of keys (modern), a two pence and an 1899 one pence coin.
Tomorrow, we will be with the Chicago guys and five new hunters will be coming to join us around lunch time. This will be their first trip to Colchester, so they will have much to learn about how to hunt here. Two are staying in our same house and three will be in another house. We have been really spoiled with having the place mostly to ourselves and not having to share the bathroom.
That's the report for the day. Tomorrow will start Week Two.
