Default uk finds first week

here are some of my finds for the first week in the hobby based in uk
whites dfx
i live very close less than 2 miles from the battle of lathom house in lancashire where oliver cromwells army laid seige to lathom house for about two months i only hit a local field on high ground overlooking the house for approximatley half hour going back soon, the musket ball and round object were found within inches of each other,
i also found 12 very old coins 1700's 3 buttons and an old pocket watch which has now fallen apart earlier in the week while on holiday in cumbria,
the dfx is my first proper detector, i had a xj9 off ebay great for ring pulls

Smile Fantastic finds!

Sounds like a really great area to hunt in. Coins to 1700's is fantastic and beyond.
You have a great start.
Happy hunting
