Hello T.Neters !
Today in two hours , but this field has already been done four times this year, but always gives me good finds of all periods .... today pewter pilgrims Badge to sixteenth or seventeenth centuries , a broken Roman coin with the face of Emperor Constantius and a fragment of a funerary urn of lead, it may be Romana (last summer retrieve another piece of the same urn in this field).

Hi Ian !
Are very similar the lead soldiers but much older ... is very difficult to find complete, this one lacks something which the saint held in his right hand, That the signifier These badges completed the journey pilgrim HAD. Some Were Brooches with pins, others around the Could Be worn neck, or pinned to cloth. It Was Believed That the very touch of Such a badge heal the sick and Could dying. Were Cheaper mass produced versions and sold to the Hundreds of Thousands of travelers visited shrines and pilgrimage Who Each year sites, Some for the completion of a penitential journey, others just Went for a trip to the country in 15th to 17th century....in this case the city of Rome .

Yeap, we have them here, but I've never had one as nice, they are very collectable & tell a great story. Mostly that of the poor who was only allowed out of the Villiage to such a Pilgrimage (maybe once in their life). They had more local ones in groups to nearby Churches once a year.

abundant is a little strong, rare is more like it

Whoa! That pilgrim badge blew me away! If only we could put it in a machine that would show a video of the things it saw before it was lost! Lot of history behind it. Good digs!

Nice finds. Always jealous of you guys across the pond. Always getting the real old stuff. I especially like the Roman stuff.
