  Hi My finds from todayTop line left to right.. piece of iron tube, large iron washer, horse shoe nails, part horse shoe, (probably fell off horse through lack of nails)Middle line left to right ..flattened foil canister, foil, bits of leadBottom line left to right..fork numbered on the back(see below),piece of thin brass surround,..musket ball, watch winder, lizzy 2nd coin 1988, dunno possibly back of a button, copper disc rivet for man made slates.Stamped on the back of the fork DR^Kf2469MSLD 1951

Well done Mick ,that part horseshoe may be an ox shoe,it looks a bit out of proportion for a horse.

Cheers Chris , that’s interesting I didn’t know oxen were shoed like horses

Good on you for posting info & image on site - thanks.

..Having seen the images from Mick and Andy I thought I'd better salvage what I found and post them here. (Perhaps we all should be encouraged to do this!)  I believe the area still has more to reveal, Dave and I went into the field immediately in front of the property which, I am told, was used by schoolchildren as perhaps a Summer Holiday or 'Outward Bound' centre. This might explain 2 of my finds.
Dave B was able to return 2 sockets from a set to the owner!. In addition to 2 x 2p coins a 3 half pence decimal coins were two .303 cartridge cases. Crimped end indicates they were Blanks. A Lone Star Spud and Potato Gun from the 60s and similarly a SHELL Petroleum Alloy Token from a series you could collect from Shell Petrol Stations (if they hadn't run out of petrol!) in the late 1960s. There was also the discovery - but no digging up - of the Resident Ram!  A rusty Gin Trap was also uneathed.. The feather is from a Jay I believe.
Thanks to Mick, Andy, Phil, Keith, John & Dave B for attending - Dig Fees were passed to Claire Boughey and she was thanked for allowing us on her land.
