That's it! I havnt done any more detecting since mid November as I broke my leg!

So come on everyone get your finds up! I look forward to seeing them all

Interesting viewing , thanks for posting....hope you don't mind me asking ,how did you break your leg...

Thanks missy I was walking down the road and twisted my ankle, went funny on it and ended up breaking my Fibula. Got out of hospital Friday after an operation putting a plate on it!

i dont detect but love seeing what people find. THe river Alyn at Loggerheads disappears down a swallow hole in summer and leaves mile or so of dry river bed. There were alot of mine workings and people working in the area years ago so i reckon the river bed could throw up some interesting finds. I had abrief look and found some old broken china

That sounds very interesting Fish5133, thanks for sharing. I might go and check it out in the summer

Soime great finds there xplore, hope your legs heals quickly for you.

Where the finds local?

Where did you find the musket ball?

Thanks Ste, yes all local finds from my horse yard in meols

Just read your other thread (re: where you found them), i always wanted a metal detector when i were younger, i never did get one.

How did you find out it is illegal to detect in public?
I would never have known if i did not read your thread.

When I was first getting into metal detecting I would do google searches for "metal detecting Wirral", and came across the council site saying it was illegal. Its a shame really.

Thanks for that , i,ve had 3 broken ankles when i was much younger , but never needed a op, so easily done ,even when you have a simple fall, hope you get well soon, take care.

The WW1/2 button is of the General Service Corp,

WW2 I think.

Thanks missy, I was meant to have a rod through my ankle too!

That's great info as always bert1, thank you.

Hurry up and get a camera Jeff! you've got some good finds including that hammered I want to see!!!
