2nd Fav Field - Day 3 - Finished

[CRUSADER]

Spent about 4 hours finishing the field.

Pleased with the Good Button/Bad Button Ratio, much better than normal.

4 Lead Tokens
2 Lead Cloth Seals
1723 Farthing 'Dump Issue'
1620s Rose Fathing - good nick
1 good Roman Coin
Book Clasp
Medieval Buckle
A piece of silver decor.

Last time we were on this field (Sunday), I said to dad 'we should get a medieval coin weight with the mix of finds we are getting!' Today I got it on the last run about 10 metres from the end Plus its in excellent condition & a type I need, these are another of my favourite type of artefacts

UPDATE:
I think the Coin Weight is for Antwerp, Belgium

Crusader, if you would, take a photo of the cat/Chinese object by itself so we can rotate it. It may not be oriented properly if it is Chinese writing. Thanks!

The "cat/Chinese letter" thing, has bamboo leaves as decoration...

Hi Cru, answer received!

Definitely from Antwerp, Hans Foncq (note the spelling) in the year 1594.I have not seen this workmanship.
The weight is for the "sitter" showing the seated king Henry VIII on his throne. The Tudor rose IDs him as a Tudor king.
Mass would be 6.11g at issue of this half sovereign. Unless it is a crown which weighed half of that.

Well not really so much of a loss, pretty darn good, only 0.12 gram. I have found more that lost much more. These things always lose weight after a long time in the ground door corrosion and everything becomes a bit or more porous (you know all this of course, but is good for the others to read and understand).
