Managed to get permission to do a still growing crop of Wheat. It was a field I had targetted because of it's cropmarks :icon_thumright:
Spent 4.5 hours trying to find any good areas, but with such a big field it was hard to figure out where the cropmarks were on the ground :-\

Still had a mixed bag of goodies :icon_thumright:

Silver 18th C Cufflink
Small Medieval pendant
Georgian Sword Belt Hanger
Tudor Book Clasp
Large broken Medieval Key
Chunky Bronze Bead - could be Bronze Age (has lots of iron residue on it :icon_scratch: )
Snakle Buckle
1 Scrappy Roman
Jetton
Rose Farthing
1931 Sixpence
6th Century Saxon Brooch (top half) :o
Stunning little Medieval Coin Weight :) I like these & its one of our best examples :headbang:

Its not in my British Coin Weight Book. So I guess its French because of the shield with 3 Fleur-de-lis in it.

You can see in an aerial photo if there were hidden foundations or roads. The problem is to find them when standing on the ground...

Yeap, they mostly show old ditches that are no longer there, as stated they can be difficult in a large field to locate. As there is no longer an physical sign of it.

only a small percentage are circles (mostly Iron Age/Celtic Round Houses), this field had 2 rectilinear enclosures (might have been Bronze Age, but I was hoping for Roman) & a couple of ancient trackways :icon_thumright:

Re: Exploring New Land...

Crusader, very interesting finds, very nice.
I would love to identify each with the pics. Which one is the saxon brooch?
and the medieval weight?
Didi you see the crop marks on aerial photography?
Thanks for sharing and good luck
