A Few Of Guessologists Finds

I really like finding them, I'd love to get the LBW one that's in the buckle book!

Half an hour on a site I've been saving for when the pickings at my usual sites start to drop off, done to death with the Go Find so really highlights the ability for the nox to revive old sites. Here's the spoils:

1906 half penny:


1915 half penny, key date!



And I have no idea how I walked past this one earlier, it gave a solid 30 and was only about four inches down in soft loam. Second token from this site:




And the bycatch latch and I guess decoration off some horse tack:

I reckon you did pretty well Guessologist.

Nice finds,love the patina on those half pennies.

Very nice indeed.

Cheers guys, yeah the patina tends to be a very dark green to black at this site, pretty nice one. It's unusually easy digging too. I'm starting to play with iron bias 0 to catch masked objects as well, snagged a thimble and button that were masked at my usual 1860s site. Then dug two nails and chased some ghost signals so it's definitely a last resort! 6 inch coil is at the top of my wish list now...

Nice finds :Y:
Yep , iron infested sites are very challenging
Unusual damage to the token

Definitely, it looks it's been nailed to something in the past but that hole was made beforehand given how messy it is. It's definitely seen some post-circulation wear in the middle.

Here's a newy, 1916 threepence that hasn't had a chance for the horn silver to go black in the light yet:

Very nice

Horny.....
ower: :Y:

Another cricket buckle! Three in total from this site now, rang up as a 17 on the nox. Unfortunately I damaged it during recovery, it ended up being a couple of inches deeper than I figured in rock hard ground and also somewhat larger of a target than the noise led me to believe, so I put my screwdriver right through it! (BAT BALL) must still be in the hole, I didn't realise it was missing until after I moved on.



Also a gilt brooch from a super iron-infested site which has only given me two inter-war predecs and a thin silver locket rim for the many many hours I've put into it:

First time running the nox over a slightly later house site, littered with trash aluminium which makes things frustrating (old Ponds jar lids mostly, seriously did these guys just eat the face cream or what?). It gave up the goods though, three coins for my effort, and I'm sure probably many more as none of these were particularly solid, nice signals.

Cool cricket buckle and brooch, must be a heck of a lot of variations in cricket buckles out there yet to be found. :Y:

On the goods there mate...
ower: :Y:

Had a ripper hour using Park 1, max iron bias and 18 sensitivity this time. This house site I'm working on is almost entirely overgrown with rose bushes, I spent my time just snuffling around the edges slowly:

Silver instrument pendant! The strings are free-standing silver wire, and it's even got a hollow body.


1897 Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee medallion. For a second when I saw the rim I thought I'd snagged a Cartwheel... I love how hyper-localised these medallions are, you'd never get per-shire medallions made these days.



Neat dog tag, the Stokes & Sons name dates it to 1896-1910.



Slightly crusty sixpence.


Some later half pennies.

Your onto some great potential there
Nice finds ... love that banjo :Y:

Yeah mate I love the banja myself,
Mackka

Very cool finds! Loving the stuff that you've been unearthing lately. Must be more there under the pesky prickle bushes too.

Lookin great Guessy......
ower: :Y:

Love the dog tag, don't see many older Victorian ones on the forums - if any at all. Amazing that the silver banjo stayed intact after god knows how many years in the ground - are there any makers hallmarks on it. :Y:
