Barley Stubble/Ploughed Field - Day 5...

[CRUSADER]

After my Bro & Sis had left, we decided to have a short hunt (2hrs 45mins) with my Italian Uncle to see if he could get any of his ancestors coins Sadly I got the only scrappy of the day but he did manage one of the better finds; A nice large counterstamped 1811 Halfpenny token 8) He also got an 18th C sword belt slider. Always enjoyable taking out a newbie, you never know what will pop up.
I had a foldered hammered (Ed I, I think) - pretty sure its the 'old custom' fold.
Also had the bottom of a Saxon Brooch The 2nd from this field.
2 Lead Tokens
US Button
2 early 19th C Militia Buttons, same Militia but different makers

So another 'good enough' short hunt.

cant believe you got a memorial penny

if i went clear to england,im in a field,and dug one of those zincons that might just push me over the edge. (dug over a 100 of them today between 2 hunts)Its bad enough when i'm mding in canada and i dig them.Nice finds i love the hammered coins.

Interesting finds today Cru!

Love the look of the script on this button! I like this thimble as well!
I'd love to find an old thimble one day . . . I'd probably get it gold plated too!

How old might these two pieces be?

Thanks mate,
Dave

button circa 1830 or a bit earlier (checked, its more like 1790s-1812)
thimble might be 100 years old max
