Silver, you need to rub this all over your body and detector before you go on each hunt! Also need to post said body and detector covered photos to the forum so we know you are fully protected!!!

Trust me! ?

[silver]

But, I'm wearing protection !

 

[silver]

Well ,.... alrighty then !
Got out for an hour and a half today.
Here's the entire hunt.

Got some GOLDIES.

Got some ULDs too. ( USABLE LOWER DENOMINATION )

Got these two finds the one on the left I thought was a childs toy fob watch until I cleaned it up and saw the cog type end on it, and realised it was an enemeled wick winder for a kero lamp.
The find on the right is my first ever gold(over copper) button.

Says KENNING LONDON on the back of the button.

Copper PDs.

Four Silvers. 8)

just a note, these three targets were all within one foot of each other.
Makes me wonder how old the button is. :/

The close ups.
1955 sixpence.

1927 threepence.

1910 threepence.

Note the scratched out King ,... I guess someone was a bit upset, is he the one that abdicated to marry the commoner ?

1874 Threepence.(find of the hunt out of the silvers).

And not a BB in sight to spoil my day.
Well I recon the Pocket Goblin has been called back onto the leash by RKT for me at least ,... let's hope that's the case for everyone now !
Thanks RKT, you nice man you !(ha).

great hunt S, the goblin may have blessed you this time! He is a moody little guy, so dont expect his niceness very often lol. "G" Often stands for Grand Lodge...masons..but they usually have the compass symbol as well.

 

[silver]

G for General maybe. :/

Here's some closer close ups of the button.

not very expensive for a good looking well preserved gilt one.

Finally, found the right button info spot.
Have to scroll down for it though.
http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/navy buttons.htm
Here's what I found in there.

UNITED KINGDOM
Nourse Line
In use 1860 - 1917
.
So That fits in with the age of the two coins I found it with as well ,... so lost after 1908 we can safely say !
Here's one of the boats of the age that fits the bill too !
Found on this site.

Carnarvon Castle 1867 One of Donald Curries East India Traders.

[silver]

Thanks RKT, I'm really happy with it !

 

[Heatho]

Nice find Silver.

 

[Ramjet]

Oh great hunting. Love that button.

 

[silver]

Thanks fellas, I actually walked over it first up, found the two coins and decided to dig the other target with them when I scanned the spot in pinpoint, so it was a lucky find ,... amazes what we could leave behind sometimes when discriminating.

 

[silver]

Got out yesterday for a little while( an hour).
bit a Moolah.
And a tiny badge.

enemel ,... red cross on white.

used to be a pin on deal.

Ripped in with the brass wire brush and found some writing on the back.

Smaller than a one cent piece too. 8)
