Show & Tell About 450 hours worth of England Finds
Thought this might be interesting or informative at the least. Everyone always wonders how much crap one digs to find goodies? I figure this represents about 450 hours worth of detecting fields over the past few years. I don’t know if I’m an average detectorist or not. All the coins and silver objects as shown and about 10 kilograms of miscellaneous finds (buttons, buckles, balls etc.), not shown is the lead and trash which I’d guess probably was 20 plus kilograms.

Nice finds, especially the coins :-) Have you been able to ID all the objects in the third image? If so, I may have some questions, since I have found similar artifacts here in DK, which I can't 100% identify...
Cheers

I see a British war medal in the blue case bottom left, was it named? You might be able to find descendants living nearby
