These are yesterday's finds. The best being a complete Viking pin, with an animals head. These don't come up every day, and certainly not complete. Also complete and in great condition, a small medieval beehive thimble. This type of thimble dates to the 13th century. Other finds included two medieval buckles, and a lead weight. And also a nice cut half hammered silver coin, late 12th to early 13th century. All in all a good hunt. Robert.

All great finds, but I'm sorry to disagree, but I'm sure your pin is circa 13th-14th C.
