Hopefully our Virgin Roman Site will be harvest soon.
In the meantime these 2 Barley Stubble fields were a good back-up. Lots to dig as it has green waste on it as well as a little bit from each period. (note the burnt modern coins)
Glad we had the wind & the sandy soil is yet to dry out because we only lasted 4 hours in this heat. Cleared tons of junk.
18th C Honourable East India Company Button (nice catch)
1788-1800 Pewter 4th (Queens Own) Dragoon Button - We were hoping for an early Military off the 1st field & Cru'dad got this one.
16-17th C Fishscale Crotal Bell (the earliest type we find, we don't get too many whole ones of this type)
Scrap Silver
Nice 1854 French 10 Centimes
Jetton
1837 Four Pence - These were hated & didn't last long, it was a politicians idea to mint a 4 Pence because that was the London Taxi/Cab Fare at the time. But this meant the Cabby's never got the 2 pence tip from the 6 Pence, & some people thought they were 3 Pences!
1930 Sixpence
So another 2 silver day instead of the Hammered we aimed for, but all's good.
