The hunt continues on the new farm for a good place to start gridding. As I'm now pretty sure the ring ditches are Bronze Age barrows, I will leave these for another time as it tends to be 1 object or nothing. Unless the Saxon's were around, which I have no signs of.
Therefore today we started at the obivious place nearest the Church. I guessed our resident detectorist would have been there, but it was the most trashy place we had tried, multiple signals most swings. Maybe he gave up on it, but this is the area I like, so started cherry picking as it was to many to dig on young wheat & we only had 2 hours:
Tudor Lace Chape
Mystery Medieval? Object with holes & a rivet in the centre
Buttons
Smashed Crotal Bell
My best button in a long time, I really like this one, never seen it before.
TWO PENNY POST OFFICE
Backmark:
P & S Firmin
153 Strand London
& 13 Conduit St
Dates it to 1839-49 I believe, & makes it one of the earliest PO Buttons ever produced, what a piece of history & in great shape as well.
If anyone can find one online let me know?
