Title: A few bits from new permission
Post by: The oil man on April 26, 2021, 06:32 pm

Had a couple of hours this afternoon which was lovely in the sun .
It's all pasture and the first time I've done much with the Smart on grass and have to say how impressed i am with the depth  :)

Nothing very exciting but not to sure what that is in the middle  ::)

Anyway enjoyed it  :)

Just nice to get out ..

Well done Oily.  It looks like a worn fish in the middle, and is that a crusty cartwheel penny on the right?

Hi mate

I thought it might be a cartwheel it's 35mm diameter and 2.8 mm thick . Pretty crusty as you say .


There's definitely something fish shaped  about the artifact and seems pretty old  ::)

I've not been out for the same reason.  Had some rain here today but need a bit more.

Yep, same here. I had permission for some paddocks, but the moisture level swung from too wet to too dry so quickly that I'll have to wait until autumn to do them now ::)
