2 Good Buttons & Horse Pendant...

Time for another day off, we had rain yesterday & the weather is still T-Shirt :icon_scratch:

Spent 4.5 hours on my own in the Wheat stubble field I explored last week for 1.5 hours (didn't get much). The stubble is 8 inches & weedy/grass, but does have some tyre flatten areas.

2nd Queens Royal Regiment of Foot pewter button (18th C)

Circa 1820-30 'WLV' Militia Button (no idea on ID yet)
Circa 14th C Medieval Pendant with the 3 Lions of England :icon_thumright:

2 Roman Coins
2 Lead Tokens
1667 1/2 Penny Token from Grantham

A nice result for a difficult field with not much about...

Nice when you don't get so old I can't relate to your finds some what :laughing7:

I like the little pie shaped lead token & of course the half penny.The reg.buttons are cool to the "WLV" came up good.I guess the pendant stands out as the best for me.
Take Care,
Pete, :hello:

The horse pendant is interesting. What do You think about the owner as it is with the lions? (not the horse....) Royal related? Great find!!!

Great pendant mate :icon_thumleft:

. I had a look in my heraldic book :read2:

, but this is all it has "The arms of the second Great Seal of King Richard I, used by his successors until 1340: three golden lions passant guardant, on a red field". Once again, :thumbsup:

great find

Hammered has the answer (thanks).
However, they would not only be used by the Royal's but all their entourage as well, & I suspect it was a 'generic' type used by weathy King's supporters, as it the 3rd one I have found.
It's one of the more common types.

3 things I like... as you do too.. Medieval pendants, 17th century trade tokens, and early military. Only 1 out of 3 possible here of course but it would be great to see a token show. (extremely unlikely though)
