It has been and interesting season , a great start to be fair and then hit a dry patch and got me wondering if I had cleared the place out , I just couldnt buy a bite but thankfully that soon changed and I was starting to get back in the game .
Today was wonderful weather , we had a good soaking midweek and that certainly helped the dry land soften up a bit and made digging easier and despite the strong breeze it was T-shirt weather .
Two fields were on offer so I decided to have a couple of hours on each and then call it a day and I got lucky almost straight away with my second signal and out popped this little coin .
Both fields were hard work but at the end of the day , just being out was ample reward . My usual rest up and a cuppa affords the usual appreciation of what we have to enjoy and I was blessed with a lone Red Kite floating about above me and for once it wasnt being mobbed by the resident Buzzards or Rooks . The white blossom was still in abundance and if I cannot manage one final time on the land then my next visit will see a totally different landscape when Autumn bites , its hard to imagine just when everything around is full to brimming in summer green .
I dug plenty of rubbish , blobs of random lead , bits of silver foil and scraps of wafer thin copper , the usual stuff alongside some acceptable bits and pieces .
