A great day out with the oldest finds being two coins of King James VI , son of Mary Queen of Scots, from 1603 to 1625
Plus we got coins from the early Georgian period some epic silver and some interesting relics too!

The lead figure looks like a "Bokkenrijder" as we call them in the Netherlands. It"s loosely translated as "Buckrider". Duiring the Middle Ages it was believed that people who had a pact with de devil (witches and wizards) rode on the backs of bucks during the night. Late in the 18th century the name "Bokkenrijders" was given to a group of thieves and robbers between 1740 and 1798 in 'de Landen van Overmaas' and 'Graafschap Loon'

What a great day for you and the lads. Those Turners are outstanding, especially the one that shows some detail. That spoon is also very cool, I think it is a salt spoon, as salt was a bit of a rare item it was administered by small quantities by the wealthy, those of us who were below the salt weren't able to season our food (which were naught more than scraps that the Toffs didn't wish to eat). Well done, great finds. Btw, do ever find any good tatties you can take home on those fields? I know I've seen some wee ones, which I love deep frying, they're quite tasty.

Twopenneth worth on the lead figure. Could be a clown or minstrel on a bear which was meant to represent circus characters in the days when bears were part of circus acts. Difficult to date I think, but lead toys were made right through 19th into 20th century.
