Abbey Site - Day 2 - Roundhead Supporters Pipe Tamper & Seal Matrix...

[CRUSADER]

The grid continues along the Roman Track-way that entered the Abbey. Its where the old Medieval Village stood over the top of a Roman Pottery centre. (Found another Kiln Bar today, eyes only)
Detected for 5 hrs 15mins & the last 15mins we got soaked, but the rain was worth it because Cru'dad got an unusual 17th C Seal (2nd to last run).

I spent 1.5 hrs on my own scouting a field at the other end of the Abbey, no joy, so we can cross that off the list.

14 Roman Coins - 2 Good ones & 1 was Pierced
Scrap Silver (pipe trim)
Late Medieval Decor Mount
2 Roman Pin-heads
Bit of a Roman Bracelet
Another Tiny Lead Token
17th C Pipe Tamper (most of the tamper has broken off) & Seal/Ring Combo. I've had these types before but what makes this special is the symbology on it (Once the impression is made);
It has the Cross of St George representing England on the Left & the Harp of Ireland on the Right in an Oval Shield/Cartouche surrounded by a Wreath.
These elements are used on Commonwealth Period Coins, the Wreath being the Victory of Parliamentarian Roundheads over the King. This imagery was used from 1649-60 which narrows the usual 17th C dating of this type of Seal Matrix. I can't find another one, but I going to speculate they were produced for this purpose, to show your Loyalty to the Roundhead cause & which side of the Civil War you were on. (The winning side)
I'm sure the Civil War guys would go nuts over this....

[JeffInMass]

Don't know if you've maintained all those finds through the years but if so, you must one massive room full of displays- amazing stuff yet again!

Another nice haul! Congratulations

 

[Westfront]

The wet soil has eaten up some of the bronze but the wax seal survived in good condition! Great research on the seal, something learned again!

 

[dieselfool]

Another outstanding group for you! After so many years I would think the stuff would be too far down for a detector to read. Splendid job there, lad!
