Happy Easter, everyone. The Easter bunny found us in England and left a package of Cadbury mini-eggs at each of our places at the breakfast table. We headed out for the first field about 8 and hunted until 6 tonight.  The weather wasn't bad for most of the day and the sun actually came out for a while.  Mostly, it was overcast, windy, 34 F degrees and spitting snow.  We have been joined for a few days by a nice young couple visiting from Malta.  Needless to say, they are not used to this cold weather but are putting on  a brave face and staying out with us.  They made a couple of neat finds today and that helps keep the enthusiasm up. 

Our group did pretty well today, too. CA George found a complete crotal bell. Alaska George found, in his own words, some good old junque. CA Dan reported in with "just going slow and steady" and tomorrow will be his day. Bruce found some greenies today along with some buttons and bits and bobs. Clarence had a beauty today with a Portuguese hammered silver coin. Mindy showed me some of her \good finds but that was before dinnner and of course, now I can't remember what thay were. Let's just say they were outstanding she predicts we will all be finding gold tomorrow.  I found silver today,too.  This one was a William III milled slver coin, similar ot yesterday's find.

I am literally falling asleep at the key board so it is time to call it a nght. Clarence is sitting with me while I write this.  He fixed us each a glass of Bailey's Irish Creme which is REALLY GOOD STUFF. It help us relax and get some sleep at night.  Check back tomorrow!
