Funny lead bits and a nice buckle from my field

Post by Oldest Swinger »

Ok got out for a few hours this morning and used my new found Google earth pinpointing to go to exactly the right spot on the field errrrrrr NOT. Still cant suss out the anomaly but did find a few bits today strange was one area that I thought was the anomaly and all I got was some strange little bits of lead. The biggest is the rolled up piece and is the size of a Rollo (no ya cant have me last one), the others range from half a peanut to a fruit gum. However I did come across a nice Strap end Buckle whole thing about 3 centimeters long by 1 centimeter wide check the pics and anyone any idea why the concentration of lead nuggets. Oh was also evidence of roofing tiles, bricks and some rusty nails (these where very old ones) though not a great amount to say there may have been a building.

Me too Bruce however think the acidity or chemicals used on the land not good for coins the only coin and so far all the buttons have been totaly smooth.
