Other finds were a George V sixpence (1914), an Anglo-Continental Guano lead bag seal, four buttons and more musket balls. A good day out on a dull but dry day.
I disturbed an ant in a hole and spotted many ladybirds in the grass
The hedgerow was rich in flowers so I had some fun with the Canon compact.
