Ferraris says that several roads where going through that fieldy place behind the village, where my favorite field is located. So the bad thing about having a great field is that I don’t want to detect lesser places.. and all places i know are lesser.
I tried going by bike to look on the old road but that ended with my foot being wet because of the gigantic puddle on the road and me thinking I could go through it. WEnt fine for 2 seconds and then I panicked and put my foot down :p Found only a bit of old road and there wasn’t so much. The second try today was with the car, since I’m lazy and not fit. Went over the field on the right and there was mostly modern junk, and one button with some gold color on the inner side.
Then I crossed the road and ventured to the end of the field, and there you could see the curve of the old road. I don’t know how or why the old roads got filled up.. I don’t know where they get to ground from but possibly just used what was around. There wasn’t so much to find, but I did get a very nice silver Leopold II coin. The two others are black and lost some profile. This one is close to perfect. Also found a Napoleonic 7-button.
Strange also that the landscape took a 3-metre deep fall at the end of the field. Don’t know what causes those things either. So many questions.

Well, I’m not a Stuck Virgin anymore

I had a very good morning including the sight of 2 roe deers in the field as I passed along, and then 3 more on the horizon. I decided to go on new territory close to some quite decent field where an old road might have been. Wasn’t very successful except for the random silver Napoleon coin I dug up close to the road.
I walked over several fields, including the good one where I found a coin weight and a partial stamp, and didn’t find much. Back to car, and headed to the spot where there is a lot of good stuff around one field, and decided to park the car close by in the entrance of the pasture. I again found close to nill but then I wanted to drive the car backwards and that did not work so well. So oops. The front wheels didn’t get grip, despite that it hadn’t rained for a while. The ground is a bit moist still. I tried to drive into the pasture to make a big turn but since it goes uphill, things got a bit bleaker .. I put my rubber carpet and some other carpet under the wheels, only to see them full of mud on the other side of the wheels after my try.. so plan Z: CALL MUM. Lol. Took her a while but there she arrived with one of our neighbours. Since the rope was too short (since my car was too far in the pasture :p so better all mum immediately next time) the guy tried to drive the car closer to the entrance, and that came with lots of holes and pushing.) Then there was teh search for mum’s special screw-in attachment for the rope but when we found it, it took us not very long to get my car out. WOOO car is out !! Dajum. So I was already very careful when parking on the mud but now my panic is complete, lol.
