Started on the Saxon Field but we are gridding a long way from the site now & the finds are getting less. We did this for 1 hour & 15 minutes & then moved to a nearby field.
We explored this new field (although Dad had a quick hunt the other day) with very little results after 1 hour. On the way back to the car to move again Dad hit on a piece of Treasure (as defined by the Act)!
It's a 16th C Silver-Gilt Clothes Fastener (bent & broken by plough) this would have been at least 3 pennies worth of silver (weight wise), then add the time & craftmenship & it all adds up to a hugely expensive set of clothe fasteners. Therefore the lady that lost this was someone of importance.
We have had base metal examples of this type but never silver & gold gilt!
We spent the last 30 minutes trying to get Roman Coins on a 'hunted out' site, we managed 2 scrappies.
Other finds for the day on all 3 fields:
18th C Bullion 2 Pennyweight
Tudor Spur Piece
Tudor buckle & pin
Tudor Gilt box/chest stud
Watch Winder
Caterpillar Badge (age?)
