Lovely Hammy for ID

Post by sillywizard82 »

Good day to you all.

I was lucky enough to find this yesterday afternoon,
I’m in six minds as to its identification so I wonder if I could pick the brains of some experts.

Found at about 8inch vdi 52little scratchy with the manticore.

Look forward to any replies and Thankyou in advance.

Stunner.

Love those big fancy ear rings too. Very fetching.
It's not what you don't know that is the problem. It's what you think you know, that just isn't so.

Sorry LowNslow

The target was bang on the non ferrous line but its shape was not perfectly rounded like one might imagine.

Had two Silver Denarius recently with VDI 20 and again the same splodgeness. On certain fields and in certain areas I just dig everything. I have had lower ferrous limit targets turn into middle line bangers and vice versa.

Hope this helps.

I think I’m finding slightly deeper targets and less trash.

Has the vanquish before the Manti and that was a belter.
