Bucket List

[Oxgirl]

I suffer the same mystery of Saxon artefacts but no coins,there’s one patch near a church which was the site of a Saxon church,surely one day......

Suffer? I’d be in heaven as I rarely get a whiff of Saxon

[JohnDeus]

A Saxon Gold coin would do me

At the minute my hand digger left at permission

At the minute my hand digger left at permission

Know what you mean.

Lost mine last week and had to go back the next evening, glad to say I found it (I must have been nearly stood on it when I could not see it the evening before )

Once as it was getting dark lost my pinpointer on "the last signal of the day". At that time had a Makro Racer which had a light on which lit up the area around the coil. Went over the area and could not see it. Then machine starts going mad as I go over the hole that I have just filled in. With it being nearly dark and a deep target I had only gone and kicked the pinpointer into the hole when I filled it in

So my nr 1 on the bucket list is "Every thing that I take out with me".
But lots of others, top of the list would be anything that has a real local history and can be researched.
After that the normal, saxon, viking, gold hoard.

Oh gosh yes, I've irretrievably lost a pinpointer that way. Now it's on a bungee cord, and my keys and wallet are too

[Pete E]

Having lost a hand digger not too long ago, it's replacement and my pinpointer are both on curly cords...

[Prasutagus]

After the Holy Grail, Ark of the Covenant and Boudica's final resting place...

Saxon gold thrymsa.
Roman gold coin is high on the list too.

[Littleboot]

I have n't found a whole bucket but I have found a rather nice zoomorphic Roman bucket mount.

I am in the land of Les Frogs. So we don't get Saxon we get their close relations the Merovingians. I have found equal armed brooches and bits if wrist clasps etc but so far no coins. So:
1] Nice Tremissis would do very nicely as number one on the list. There is one around here some were I am convinced.
2) A gold Roman. Early one.
3) Limoges Mount in good nick.
4) Medieval Gold ring. Stone in situ.
5) Roman sealbox.
6) Some relics from the 100 years war camp which was around here somewhere. Bits of swords, etc.

Curly cord is a very good investment

You see how one thing leads to another? I detect and it is just the NOX, spade and finds pouch. No purse, no phone, no pinpointer, no keys, anything else. It doesn't necessarily mean I won't leave something behind (I have left my spade leaning against a fence several times) but it helps. If I tool as much as some people into the fields I'd leave something every week!

It doesn't necessarily mean I won't leave something behind (I have left my spade leaning against a fence several times) but it helps. If I took as much as some people into the fields I'd leave/lose something every week!

You do see some people who look like they're being deployed to active military service.

I thought I was bad for that, but don't feel so bad now as I see people regularly carrying quite large rucksacks plus the usual finds pouch, hand diggers and pinpointer ect..I don't particularly like having to return to my vehicle for lunch so usually carry some sandwiches and a pint water bottle or small vacuum flask....I have say I do wonder what people find to carry those large rucksacks?

I've got an old canvas rucksack, flask, sandwiches, power bank and spare pinpointer battery, and a tiny first aid kit. Oh and sunscreen.

Maybe they are sheep rustlers?
