Return to the Potato Field - Day 1 - 3 Hammered!

[CRUSADER]

This field was a new permission that I gained via door knocking last year. I choose this field because as I cycled by it I liked that it looked sandy. That was the only clue I needed to want to hunt it & last year we were very successful with a few hammered & my 16th C Gold Ring. The problem was that it was full of weeds that got to waist height, but now they have ploughed some of the field ready for spring drilling.
It's about a 7 inch turn & has yet to be disced down, but it's good enough for now.

1 Scrappy
Livery Button
18th C Militia Button
Neolithic Flint Scrapper (I saw lots of flint wasters today, so I'm keeping my eye out for some better ones...)
Broken 16th C Sword Belt Fitment
Jetton
1.5 Lead Tokens
Blank Silver Shilling Counter-stamped BM
2 grotty hammered
Cut half of Henry II, 1180-89, Gerard of York - Scarce coin that I need.

I need to get over, I’m dying to detect again. Been looking on here for a while now, although I only have my phone which is annoying. For now I’ll just look at my finds :/

What a bunch of buttons. As long as there are hammered coins it's well worth digging.

There are always fields with your name on when you return.

Yes, we targeted this field as our best bet for hammered, I predicted 1 for sure maybe 2 or 3, so it came good. I hope for some better ones in the next few outings!

It's all about the speed of recovery.

Nice recoveries, Cru. We on occasion find some old coins counter
stamped here too. Can you tell me what the purpose in counter stamping was?

Another great location/permission! You make it look easy. Congrats on on the site and old silvers!

You just can't beat a potato field for bringing up those elusive finds. Love the short cross!
