Religeous pendant



Silver Queen Victoria sixpence 1886

A bullet



Apothecary weight 2 drachms



Pre decimal coins



And finally, 2 buckles, animal ear tag, musket ball, ship nails and old lipstick container!



Hopefully will get out again soon and update some finds

Good and very interesting finds Xplore.Is the pendant gold? You,re braver than me in this weather the grounds so wet. I will have to harden up and get out there and get something to show.

No not gold cools was out in the hale on thursday getting that george I coin! Was worth it though!

Excellant finds

Cheers Rude

Yet another great find X-plore.
The Lead figure looks really interesting.trying to suss if that has once been attached to something, or even a lucky charm that belongs to a bracelet.

Your religious pendant is a St. Christopher, The Patron St of Travel who was martyred in the 3rd century A.D. Roman Empire.

Would your sixpence not be a better find ?

Thanks for the info Granny. Thats just an Ebay chancer. If you look on completed listings they can sell from as little as 99p. They can go for alot more, but all depends on condition. Saying that, there could be very few for sale, and the particular coin is needed to complete a set, so bidders will bid more than usual for them.

They were made of silver then but as there are a couple of bids for that one shown on the link, I thought it would apply to many.

Brilliant finds bud thanks for sharing it's somethink I have always kept meaning to try.

Cheers beehive

Probably the last bits from this month.....

Lead bullet



Musket ball



One shilling, half penny and old large 10p



1891 Victoria penny



Coin spill of 3 Victoria pennies from 1860's (stuck together)



1930's Three penny



Another lead figure



A ring (waiting to hear about age)





Thats it for this month. I think i will just post one big round up for February at the end of it. Thanks for looking

Oh Xplore you put me to shame! I,m obviously not trying hard enough but then again you have been at it a lot longer than I. Good finds again, I always look forward to seeing what you have found. Hopefully I,ll be able to show more items in the future rather than the couple I,ve found. Still really disappointed in my lead figure,aka twisted metal, thought I,d found something good, but onwards and upwards eh!

Thanks cools. You will start finding some good bits. You will be putting me to shame soon!

The last this month i think lol

Buttons, red cross and military

Could that bottom one be of the Wirral Horn

The middle button is White Star Line, bottom button, light infantry, I think general purpose button for many regiments.

Did well again Xplore. Do you go detecting locally or do you travel outside the area ?

Cheers Bert, I did wonder about the bottom one.

I go on my horse yard in Meols, and anywhere I can get permission. Really hard to get permission, wish I knew some farmers lol.

Yeah it is hard to think of where to go. That's why I thought of joining that club, think maybe they get more opportunity to get on these fields , and of course I won,t be alone. Will have to make the effort come the Spring.

Theres a few on facebook that do digs most weekends, bit of travel involved though

wonder who lost that ring and when?

some good finds there matey

Cheers ste I didnt find much out about the ring to be honest, so have no idea what its age is
