Hmm yep get your point but calling yourself a metal detector would sound even more silly 🙂 Thanks Rockhopper, anyway its great fun and good exercise.

Thanks ericmunk and Rocketeer. Please do be a killjoy, I certainly didn’t know and never want to do anything illegal. I got permission from the farmer to detect on his land and later found out that a Spitfire crashed there in 1941. I am doing a timeline framed picture for the farmer to keep in his shop, i.e. keep finds with the land, I have Roman to modern with many periods in between. Obviously therefore information about a Spitfire is important but I certainly was not deliberately hunting a Spitfire, however thanks for the info and I will stop looking there. Also I have been in contact with the Grandson of the pilot who died in the crash and he is interested in the finds too. Thank you so much for the 2 ID’s, as to the bolts the wording is already on my post under Row 3 nos. 1 & 2, if that helps and if you know where on the aircraft they come from then fantastic. Most interested in the label which is nearly unreadable but provides the word ‘SCREW’ I believe. Hope you can help or please pass on to any other specialists you know. Thanks 🙂
