A Saxon Site - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

We continued to grid for 6 hours & 15 minutes, the only Saxon item to turn up was a Pin Head. We have now covered over 50% of the best area, & a sceat for this year is slipping out of our hands....
On the positive side we had plenty of targets:

2 Roman Coins
Lead Donkey - thats a first!
Cira 1700 Buckle
1/2 Lead Tokem
Jetton
Rose Farthing (17th C)
Spitalsfield Market Token (Another first) - circa WWI period
2 Tudor Strapends
Saxon Pinhead
3 Hammered, 1 bit, 1 Lizzy halfgroat, 1 Charles I Penny
1817 Sixpence
Broken Lizzy I Trade Weight

Definitely a lot of targets and some goof ones at that. I like that little 17th century buckle and the silver.

Awesome Hammered silver!!! They are just freakin' cool to me! Got a question, is the heart-shaped thing with the hole in the middle a token? It's kind of cool....

Wow , Good stuff ! The Sixpence is nice shape , So is the halfgroat for 500 years old !

Looks like you and your Dad had a good day in the field today Cru, congrats on the silvers.
I love the look of this holed token, I've never seen a heart-shaped example before, this china frag looks early too.

The bull head has got good detail still, also nice going on the hammered.
Well done on posting up your first lead ass.

That site looks like tombac city. But that's always a good sign, and I see that you definitely took advantage. Nice hunt, and congrats on adding to your enormous hammered silver collection.

All blanks though, but it makes you think that anything could pop up.
