    Hey all, First post on this forum of my first and last 'hunt' of 2022. I stumbled across a field with unusual crop marks. A two-day search followed in an attempt to find out more about this place. The results were somewhat disappointing. A pile of iron (lots of UO's - Unidentified objects -)...

  3. 2020 in Review Roman, Medieval and Much More

    I had a great 2020 and despite all the lockdowns I still managed a few good outings. With this being my first full year in Europe I am very happy with the quality of some of my finds. I'm still kinda stuck in the post-medieval era for the most part but a few lucky digs have been able to push...
  4. Another Mystery Roman

The small bit of lettering on the obverse reads NVSP(possibly an E after that) The small bit of lettering on the reverse reads (possibly AH)AT The style...
  5. ✅ SOLVED Medieval Buckle?

    I found this buckle piece in a field in Luxembourg. Most of the stuff I've found in this area dates to around 1650-1960. Its made of either copper or bronze. I believe it to be medieval, more specifically from 1250-1350 according to this website...

    I found this lamb of god type medieval seal matrix today never had one come out of the ground so clean! I'd normally have to spend all night picking out the crusty bits from the design :occasion14:

  8. Help identifying this jug... possibly redware?

    I purchased this pitcher recently. It has an applied handle and looks like it could be medieval redware as it has some similar characteristics (such as the handle shape, the medium used - earthenware?). Could anyone shed any light on this item based on the images? Thanks!
  9. Medieval Spanish coin?

    Trying to find out info on this coin. Copper, with 3 towers, looks like an 8 on the front in the shield. Lots of symbols on the shield side. I think I can make out 15?? For the year. Thanks!

  11. Medieval Copper Ring?

    I was detecting in an old river that was 'drained' awhile ago in the middle of the forest, there is rumors of medieval places nearby. And I got a strong 50's signal, dug it up and got a quite old looking copper ring: (The scale is in Centimeters) I just wonder how old this ring could be, I...

  14. ✅ SOLVED Medieval European Silver coins

    Hey all, I stumbled across these coins weeks ago. Usually i get ancient stuff but medieval coins (thalers?) always confused me thus making hard to determine the origin of the coin and the king on obverse. I hardly identified two coins (which are not here) and they had different origin: one from...
  15. Lead weight?

    Hi all, Found this (what looks to be a lead weight) the other day, forget where I found it as I was in a few different fields and I found a gold half sovereign, so I was all excited about that and didn't bother with the other finds. It is solid lead and has stripes going all the way around it...
