This was basically what we call a blind hunt as this field had no archie intel & no crop-marks to speak of. However, I've been eyeing this field whilst going to work for awhile only because it has light sandy soil. In our area, this is reason enough for me to go house knocking to find the owner. I did this awhile back & last week we finally signed the contract they wanted & we have been granted permission for this field alone to see how we get on for a couple of months.
I was hoping this was farmed in Ancient times, but being a flood plain I knew it would not have been settled on & at the very least I thought it would have been farmed in the Medieval period, so I thought a hammered was likely. How right can you be.
Sometimes, when your hot, there is just 1 way to go, get hotter......
I had mis-heard them & it only had a 12" plough, which is still the deepest plough they do around here. I named it the Potato Field as its the only one around that we have hunted.
6 Hours;
My first drone (funny thing is we had our first question on 'do you use drones' from this owner, & now we can say 'we just find them on your land, first time out!')
Victorian? Iron Key
3 Crotal Bells
2 Roman Nails
2 Livery Buttons, Tudor Button, 19th C Army General Service Button
Medieval & other types of Buckles
Strange Wheel shaped object (Never seen one) Looks 17th C
Broken 15th C Sword Belt Hanger & Fitment
18th C Clog Clasp
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Medieval Horse Pendant
18th C Pan/Trade Weight
3 Lead Token
2 Jettons
A Rare Viking/Saxon Stirrup Terminal (Dragon's Head)
6 Hammered (3 each) - Shilling of Charles I, 2 & 1/2 Henry III Pennies, Edward I Penny, Charles I Penny.
2 of Cru'dad's hammered coins were just picked off the top, no digging.
