On the Beans - Day 6 - Finished...

[CRUSADER]

Nice sunny day, which I took off work.
This was the last day on the beans as they were just starting to show, & we were there to help protect them, not damage them, so times up.
We have covered over 10 acres which is close to 50% of the field & was the best half, so job, pretty much done. Although we hoped for 1 Roman Silver that never happen. (got close today with a slightly silver plated Ant!)
I did just over 6 hours & Cru'dad did just over an hour at the end. (he had over commitments)

11 Scrappies (best 1 day total from this field)
1 Lead Token
Candle Holder
Livery Button
Roman Pin Head
2 bits of scrap silver
Crappy broken Hammered - Just saved the day from a double back-to-back blank. A trend for this year, so it seems...

I never liked eating them as a kid but this proves that beans can really be good for you...

Well you managed to get some silver, not that they're show pieces but as they say"Silver is silver."
So it was a good day, congrats.
I don't see many palm guards, or do you not bother postingthem up?

The broken ones we recycle, & the complete ones we keep but don't find loads of.

Still a good day. Every day out is a good day.

Nope always Lead.

Nope always Lead.

I imagine the bits of the hammered were mangled by a plow perhaps...always fascinating when they do turn up in good condition after laying dorment for so long...you're due for an incredible find...

Not sure what that is other than whats left of a steel yard weight, as it has some iron in. Palm guards pretty flat & more egg shaped.

 

[Westfront]

It's pretty flat but has iron going through. No loop just the rusted out part on the flat side. If it was a steelyard weight it got it's weird shape hundreds years ago.

Palm guards never have any iron.
