Went on a lone hunt back to the Barley Stubble Field, hoping for a nice hammered. Only got 2 poor ones, which makes 13 Hammered from this field alone! (only had about 8 goes on it).

Found:
17th Century Tokens
Rose & Royal Farthing
5 Lead Tokens
Silver Thimble
Silver top to a pencil :-\
Bits...

On my last run back finishing on the tyre tracks I was covering the Left track but not the right, however I still managed to hit the edge of a find on the Right track :o Its made my Year :o :o :o Sorry I can't get a good photo, my hand was shaking. Its a stunning Gold Chip Carved Saxon Mount, with 4 hidden faces. I need some research on this one, its the first I have seen :read2:
This period is special to me & this will take pride of place as one of my all time best.

Got to put the time in & cover the whole field, I was filling that space we left on the far side :wink: It was a real trashy area, saw a night hawk dig nearby (the idiots leave the lead in the hole) :tongue3:
Not a good area that side compared to the rest, but it needed covering :sign13:

A chiped carved mount would be bronze, I backing Brooch, but I wouldn't be complaining either way...stunning :icon_thumleft:

For me, the faces just bring it alive, nicer than the stylized animal belt mounts I have.

Night Hawk = someone on the land without permission
dig by nighthawk = not back-filled & rubbish left by side of hole

How dumb are they to dig the same rubbish every year ::)

Hi Crusader!
