Most fields in general over this side of the pond are waterlogged so it was a case of trying to find a field(s) with a slope or more precise a gentle slope.
Just down the road from where I live there are two farms that I have permission on with gently sloping fields.
Did not look good with standing water in the lower part of the field but I persisted to work my way up the slope to dryer ground.
The gold ring I am still trying to get an ID on.
Thanks for looking............Doug.
Ground is water logged!
See what is lurking in the mud? (Not the worm...
)
Lurking in the mud an incomplete silver-gilt (gold over silver) fragment originating from a seal-top spoon terminal of Post-Medieval date.
Spoon terminal inscription.
"The triad of initials suggest it might be for a marriage gift (for a M (husband) and W(wife) with M(surname) above) although sometimes if the gift is to the wife their initial comes first."
ATS WW2 Badge.
"The Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS; often pronounced as an acronym) was the women's branch of the British Army during the Second World War.
It was formed on 9 September 1938, initially as a women's voluntary service, and existed until 1 February 1949, when it was merged into the Women's Royal Army Corps."
Mixed finds.
Gold seal ring.
In the mists of time somebody dropped a medieval silver coin into molten lead?
