How to use Custom attributes with MonoTouch and F#

I would like to use some introspection with F# and MonoTouch.

Given the following code fragments:

type Field (aName : string) =
    inherit Attribute()    
    member this.Name = aName

[<Field("title")>]                             
    member this.Title with get() = title

I expected to get the Attribute back with:

reflection.GetCustomAttributes(typeof<Field>, false)

But that does not work.

But

reflection.GetCustomAttributes(false)

works but it just returns an array of objects.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ?

Problem is solved. Renamed the attribute from Field to FieldInfo and it worked.
