We took a chance today on a field we have hardly touched. It had been recently disced & looked inviting. We started like we start all new land; spread out 2 widths apart & doing lengths of the shortest side until... Cru'dad hit a Viking Mount - forget that juicy-nectar it was GRID ON!
2 hours into the grid nothing else of note popped up so we took a drink break & then tried another next door field. Very quickly we decided this field was no good & came back to the original. Almost immediately we wandered onto some Roman Coins - Grid on again.
After 5 hours our haul was:
9 Scrappies
2 debased Roman silvers
Counterstamped blank sixpence
Pan Weight
Tudor Leather Mount
Tudor Clothes Fastener (broken)
Tudor Button
17/18th C Pair of Compasses/Dividers (very cool, my first of these!)
Very Rare Viking Urnes Style Mount -Serpentine body & Dragons Head - I believe the function of these is unknown.
Anglo-Scandinavian / Viking 'Urnes' Mount 025953
