1602 Half Thistle-Merk & Henry VII Halfpenny...

[CRUSADER]

At this point we are desperate for available land. This morning was a disaster after 2 hours of trying footpaths throw Wheat fields & then the tyre tracks as well. Nothing other than 1 button & a blank coin/token.
So Cru'dad on the way back wanted to check the state of the crops on one of our newest permissions. It's one that Land-Mag researched & we found a new Roman Site in less than 10 minutes.(but the crop was already in, so I only got 9 coins including a Silver on the edge of the field!)
Today we found out 2 bits of good news after meeting the owner up on the land;
1. The new Roman site is Spring Barley & will be ready in 3 weeks.
2. There is a 2 acre bit of set-a-side available now.
This bit of set-a-side had been scouted by both Land-Mag & Me & later Cru'dad & Me but we only had 1 recordable - a 17th C leather Mount. It did however have some Lead, Nails & some Georgian bits..
We gridded it for 3 hours with a very pleasing result!

It's funny how we turned it around! It's hard not to laugh out loud in the field.

Congrats on your silvers Cru, nice to see that you and your Dad are still out there swinging.
My mother-in-law is currently in Stratford-Upon-Avon visiting her sister and she tells us the weather in England has been very hot and dry so far.
Love this little Tudor Button.

Best of luck to you on the new Roman site in Spring Barley that will be ready in 3 weeks.
