Sometimes your a victim of circumstances....
This field was not on the radar, until the the Govt Restrictions dictated that exercise should by done locally, so we looked around & found the closest field just 1 mile away. It should have been planted earlier but the wet conditions pushed it back, & the farmer wanted us on the recently drilled Winter Beans to keep the birds off. Win/Win.
We were last on this field in 2016 & the finds are very spread out & random. (no hotspots, no sites) Therefore, we deployed the very long gridding technique & went the whole width of the field, from the bottom up. With these 3 hunts of just over 15 hrs we still haven't done 10% of the whole field.
14 Scrappies (Roman coins)
Buttons - Livery, Military, 17th C, 2 Tudor
Silver Cuff-link
Victorian Gold plated thingy
2 17th C Spur Buckles
17th C Lead Cap for a Powder Flask
Poor condition Medieval Horse Harness Pendant
Bit of a 6th C Saxon Brooch
Tudor Strap-end
16-17th C Knife Terminal (hammer head style)
2 17th C Leather Mounts
Ancient Bronze Bracelet Bit?
Lead Tokens
4 Hammered - Philip & Mary Groat, Unknown Folded over Penny, Charles I Penny, Charles I Halfpenny with Rose on either side.
Very Rare Tasciovanus Stag Silver Unit circa 20BC-10AD - I found this type once before in 1999. Here is a better example:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Catuvell...vanus-Stag-Type-Ex-Rare-HHC4248-/324041698772
The first recorded example was in 1984, & when I found mine in 1999 it was the 10th Recorded example. Because it was then unpublished/unlisted, I had to travel to Oxford to get it IDed/Recorded. Since then there has now been a total of 20 Recorded. It was published in the 2010 ABC book & classified as Extremely Rare. You can find one on ebay with that description but I don't like to over egg things so have gone with Very Rare.![icon_thumright :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)
