[CRUSADER]

Above is the morning hunt, if you missed it!

Spent 4 hours in one of my fav spots. 7.5 hour day detecting & only rained on once.

I strungled to find much as I'm over lapping an area I have done quite well.

Coins:
3 Roman bronzes
1.5 lead tokens
1820s Farthing
1670s Farthing

Some buttons, 1 lead medieval.

Some bits including flints & roman pottery.

Picture 4:
Top left - my first Medieval Book Hasp, I have found many of the clasps which hook into the slot at the end. The 2 holes kept it on the leather (Bible probably) book.
Under it is a Medieval buckle plate
Another 17th century powder lead Flask Lid
A strange gaming piece, looks old but never seen anything like it. Chess Piece??

Buckles:
2 broken ones
A nice 17th century spur buckle - complete
D shaped 14th century buckle

Close-up of the Gaming piece with nice decor.

[vercingetorix]

many old stuff in your aera ...

It is just a shame to see the shape those roman coins are in when retrieved from ploughed fields

I wish I could find all of that in one day !!

Great finds, as usual, Crusader. It leaves us here on the other side of the pond salivating. I think that the gaming piece you found is a chess piece. Congratulations!

Question: Next time you are out and about, would it be possible to snap some photos of the countryside?? I know that I'm curious about what the general area that you are finding all of these things looks like.

Yeap a Pawn probably.

is it a complete piece or is something snapped off on the top? It is similar to the bishop in my set, only missing the cross.

Its complete, remember is probably late Medieval.
