Shaun & I returned to the Papal Bulla Field to finish it off. Which we did (except 20% of the low unproductive land) in about 5.5 hours. Dad joined us for 3 hours & by the end of the day (7 hours), we had totalled 10 man hours. (not including Shaun7 who will post his 7 hours worth soon)

Things didn't get interesting until we decided to do a bit of coin shooting in the small field next to the car, it has a footpath across it leading to an old ferry river crossing.

Dad got an outstanding 1697 Shilling almost off the bat, then a lovely 'Love Token' type coin with RMS Arzila:
Royal Mail Steam Packet Company brought her in 1908:

See post card above of the Ship. If this one could talk, I think it must be from a crew member to their loved one?

2 Roman Coins (1 pictured in mud)
2 Late Medieval Buckles
Lead Token (maybe Boy Bishop which would be my first)

Plus I found what has to be my best conditioned Pewter button ever :o
43rd Regiment of Foot - late 18th Century :headbang:
Involved in the Rev War where they were captured at Yorktown in 1781.

When I ran over to Shaun to show him the button (yes I was excited), he said you would like it :laughing7:

It's so nice its the first button I'm afraid to clean, I have left it as is. I have never seen them come out so good from a once ploughed field.

Soap & water with a little brusing to get the dirt out and it will be perfect! It wouldn't be any 43rd that would fire me up... that's a good one because it's early! The later ones are pretty common by comparison.

I never get the early ones nice like that and I have found many.

Cheers, it better than the one I brought for the collection, so this will replace it.
I find these much rarer than hammered. I had 1 1697 Shilling, Bristol Mint last year, but over 80 hammered.

Its a close call, I will never get another early Military in that condition again, although I will likely get a Shilling some time. But the Arzila is a close second, so as he got both, I somewhat agree ;D

Yours is the first Gothic Florin I have seen dug but its lacking condition compare to the 1697, The buckle & pin is up there in the ranking as well.

We basically all came away pretty good, its just Dad took half the time :laughing7:

Re: Good Day with Shaun7...UPDATED - Cleaned Button

Nice job. Could the unidentified object that Crudad brought home be one side of a hand grinder stand? We used to have a small cast iron grinder that was supported by something like that. It looks like it has two feet.

Just a guess.

As usual, your daily "rubbish" is nicer than anything I have found, not to mention all of your keepers. So I am back to the research. My goal is to find one item this year that gets a nod from across the pond.
