Hill Top View - Day 8...

[CRUSADER]

We completed today's objective in just over 4 hours - ''To complete the Western edge''.
The coins thinned out pretty quick & although 1 was pretty close to the edge of the field it wasn't like the Eastern edge. We have now completely gridded half of the total size of the field. We now have the whole of the Northern edge to do, although it's the edge outside of the main activity, so we are not expecting much.

I have to claim ignorance on a toggle? You have some great finds there!

 

[CRUSADER]

It's the item on it's own with a loop.

A toggle is a clothes fastener, basically the earliest type of Button.
