We spent the first hour on a cover crop (for sheep), it was a little too high & there were very little signs about. I had a hunch that the next field that we had tried previous years (with no success) was worth another go. I picked a spot near to the Villiage edge & started gridding, on my 3rd run up popped the lovely Groat.:headbang: We gridded that area for 3 hours covering about 1.5 acres with the following result:
(days total = 4 hours)

Dad had a nice Medieval Buckle plate with Dragon biting its tail (hard to picture, as its bent)
Broken Medieval Horse Harness Pendant
Livery Button
19th C Northampton Yeomanry Button8-)
Henry VII Groat - 1489-93 (I hardly ever find Groats, this is my first Henry VII)
My first ever Viking Cheek Piece (from a horse bridal) - Very Rare! See similar:
Record ID: SF-41B986 - EARLY MEDIEVAL bridle fitting - Database
Dug it at 11" in choppy stick clay, glad to see a good deep find instead of junk, as it was pretty tiring.

Dang, what a nice Groat! This new spot looks like it has gobs of potential, hope you find some pre-Norman silver in there.

I also want to know what those rectangles are. Old movable-type spacers?

I'm going to say printing blocks.

Cru you really had a good day with the beauty Groat and the cheek piece.

Sadly, its not another site, just a random selection of finds. The Viking Cheek piece came from a horse that can travel how many miles a day? The Groat came from an area with no other positive signs. They are freaks, but very welcome.

The Viking piece is special, they are all so different in design, you may never see a match.
