6.5 Hours hunt........

[CRUSADER]

Tomorrow will be our last chance on this field as the Bean's are being to chit.

11 Scrappies, the largest looks like it was cemented into a building
1892 Sixpence
I got another Hammered of Henry III

I see also a weight in the third photo top. Nice finds!

Its a strange lead weight with what looks like an up-side-down button in the top. So that the loop could be used to hang it.

Yes I saw that. I have seen this sort of weight before. First the outside part was molded from poured lead. Then a hanger
type of item (a upside button is what you call it) is inserted in the hole and the hole is filled up slowly until the exact necessary
weight is achieved. If this is what happened here I don't know, but it is a nice weight, different sort than what we normally
find... very nice

I agree its one worth keeping rather than most of the rest that go in the low alpha lead pile ready to recycle.

This was on Saturday & on Sunday I got the Gold Coin from this area, which was very neat . The upper section will wait for another year, as the Bean's are sprouting & its not a priority field.
