    1. Another brilliant days detecting with the unearthed team, what a day what a farm. Well done Ricky a deserving winner with the James shilling what a coin. Thank you Graeme, Gaz and Mel.

    2. That james shilling is a craker lovley bust plenty of details on the device . Makes me more n more eager to start detecting. I love collecting and grading early / late milled coins . Never been detecting but going to give it a go one day. The coin of Charles ii is definitely a crown and a your right its definitely a contemporary counterfeit a bery nice find they are collectable in their own right .

    3. ''People are now making their way to higher ground,'' Oh how I wish! But, nonetheless, it was a great day out as usual, with nice weather, good company, and superb finds. Well done to all, and the usual thanks to Graeme and Gaz without whom none of this would be possible. Looking forward to the next one. [ Well done to Andy Hammered, I named him well didn't I?]
