I'm beat! We have fivc new guys who joined us yesterday for thier first England detecting trip. They are young and fit and want to spend all the daylight hours out in the field. They're killing me! We are now hunting 11 hours a day and come in at 7pm. I can understand how some of us "older" hunters take naps out in the field. That would only give me time to stiffen up and would just make it worse. I just keep moving and am bound and determined to keep up with these young guys. I must be out of my mind!
No great finds today for either of us but we still got some nice stuff. I had an interesting old (really, really old) key, a lead bale seal and a small Roman coin. Clarence had several neat buttons including a 20th Regiment button, a lead seal, greenies and a Cartwheel (HUGE greenie only made one year).
We are lucking out on weather, so far. The wind is often cold and my face is really wind burned now. The sun was out most of the day today and it looks like no rain until late Wednesday. We spent the afternoon in a HUGE field (maybe 500 acres?), that was planted in wheat. The wheat looks like wide blades of grass and is about 6" tall, so it looks like a huge lawn area. I just enjoyed walking through the field of wheat and the peace and quiet of a Sunday afternoon.
Tomorrow we are retuning to the area I found the silver cufflink and one of the Chicago guys got a Celtic gold a couple of days ago. Wish us luck!
