Metal Detecting on the Thames Foreshore

I wouldn't mind metal detecting on the Thames foreshore one day.......I wonder how much stuff is left?

'Pimple' button

A 'pimple' button, found whist metal detecting. It probably dates to the 17th. Century.

Finding buttons and buckles on a farm, can indicate that there are other items waiting to be found. If you find a button from a certain period on a field, there is a chance, that there are coins from that period on that field.

Tudor button

This is a button, probably from the Tudor period, found on farmland, whilst metal detecting.

Jeton from last 'trip' away.

Below are images of the obverse and reverse of a medieval jeton I found, on my last couple of days away.

Two Trips Planned

I've got plans to travel to two different parts of England, to carry out some detecting in September. Why do farmers have to sow crops, and I have to wait? Only joking!

Metal Detecting On The Beach

I've now got my permit from the Crown Estate, to metal detect on some of their 'beaches'.

Metal Detecting Rally

There is a metal detecting rally, I could go to this weekend. Rallies aren't my kind of thing. I won't be going.
