Another nice warm sunny day for a 5.5 hour hunt on the new land we started last Sunday. We are calling this one the Saxon Field as we had 4 Saxon items in 1 day (Rare), today was different with only 1 small broken Saxon Strapend. Although Land-Mag joined us for 40 minutes & scouted out the top end of the field with great success, finding an end of a Saxon Cruciform Brooch & a decent Roman Coin. (so 6 Saxon period pieces in 2 outings)
Last week we were sure we would hit a Hammered at anytime. Today it happened with a James I Halfgroat (circa 1603-19) found by both Dad & I I also got a poor condition Celtic Bronze Coin (2000 years old). That now means in 2 trips we have covered every period in British History:
Neolithic
Bronze Age
Iron Age
Roman
Saxon
Medieval
Post Medieval
Georgian
Modern
This is an unusual thing to happen & it makes it more exciting, as we have no clue what might pop up next
The other finds were:
Nice Buckle (Tudor)
Royal Farthing
Rose Farthing
1799 Halfpenny
Georgian Pan Weight (Trade weight)
Beehive Medieval Thimble
Medieval Pin Head
Part of a Medieval Purse Bar
Lead Cloth Seals
Nice Tudor Clothes Fastener with a still sharp hook - nice to get a complete one for a change
& a few buttons
