Return to the Roman/Saxon Site - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

This went pretty much as I expected. I only had a short hunt of 3 hours 45mins (Dad joined me for 1.5 hours) making sure I had cleared the saxon area (now complete). I only got 2 bits that I now think are part of a penannular brooch (date unknown; might be Roman/Saxon/Medieval??). I thought they were part of another piece I had & they are, just missing 1 bit (see last photo).

Dad got a nice medieval buckle, find of the day.

Nice buckle and getting more pieces of the bracelet, can you recall if the pieces were close to one another?

The bracelet is the thin piece. The 3 pieces is something like this medieval brooch:

Like these big brooches. I found the missing pin to the brooch. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/today-s-finds/317094-evening-hunt-yields-roman-medieval.html

Hi Cru, glad to see you are still finding a lot buttons, still keeping count? Not been on the site much at all, busy with other things and that just takes time.
Had a nice hunt this year in England, found some nice stuff. Have not heard from the professor Daryl for a long time, will send him a message to see if he is still OK.
Take care

Earl

Good to hear from you & yes we are keeping your tradition alive, but the buttons are low this year; currently 1233.
We may not have had quantity this year although we more than made up the gap with some quality items including several 'firsts' & my oldest coin ever.

Glad to hear about the button count, quota a bit low, but there is still time to find the nice ones.
Will see if I can find your old coin (iron era? or earlier?)...
Did you have good finds this year?

FOUND IT. Cantii Potin. Real nice coin! I have found a few too, one or two in England and a few in France. Hard to find but they are around. Of course the places I found them was a Celtic area, where yours was not!

My friend in France lucked out better than we did, he found one afternoon a good place, bronze axes and a lot of potins ! Wish I had been with him searching that day.

We are in the wrong area to get these. However....
