Another Barley Stubble Field...UPDATE - Dads short hunt...

CRUSADER · Jul 17, 2011

This field is a low priority one but as Dad was away, it was the closest field to cycle to, plus it throws up the odd surprise like the Henry I (Banner coin). So as miss most of the bad weather, I was out hunting by 08:30 & finished 5.5 hours later when the heavy windy showers started.
I tried hard to get a hammered but wasn't to be :wink:

5 Scrappy Roman Coins including a silver plated forgery
Part of a print block which I pictured with other bits I found a few years ago.
1 Lead Token
14th C Buckle
Broken Medieval Spur Buckle & Plate
17th C 'seal top' spoon handle piece
My first tear-dropped shaped Medieval Bell - like the jester type :laughing7:

Find of the day was part of a 15th C Chafing Dish Handle, first one I have found. Did some research & can't find any on the UKDFD & only 1 on the PAS:

Mine is far more complete, didn't realise it was such a rare find when I got it :headbang:

Nice haul, Crusader! I wish we could find that many buttons in one hunt here!

Re: Another Barley Stubble Field...

You did well to get that much time in before the rain. I wouldn't have liked to be in the middle of a field in what just came down here

I should get out next weekend

Thanks, I remember it well, as I remember thinking I hadn't got one. (Jester bit was a joke but had no idea they were on horses) :icon_thumright:

Drum roll please.......The North is getting ready to come out of hibernation 8)

I did get caught out by one shower when at the top of the slope & the mac & bike were at the bottom ::)

Other than that I got home just as it chucked it down. Its a good place to see the weather coming in, although the last system missed me until it decided to do a 90 degree wind change & chase me home :laughing9:

Wow, that's 'low priority'? Nice stuff! Always appreciate your posts Crusader. Cheers.

UPDATE:

Dad had some time this evening & spent 45 minutes on the field I was on, plus tried another Barley Field elsewhere (1 Hour). Didn't get much, but we must be moving closer to the big one :wink:

lots of good stuff! love the bells

Wallhangers · Jul 19, 2011

Even though you didn't hit the big one yet, looks like this spot kept you both busy. I think I speak for a lot of us here in that I am so impressed with your knowledge of so many different relics from so many different eras. :icon_thumleft:

How many years have you and Cru' dad been detecting?

ANTIQUARIAN · Jul 19, 2011

Great finds yesterday Cru, even if you were a one-man show! :laughing7:

I love the look of the 15th century chafing dish handle! :notworthy:

Can you tell me . . . is this an ink pot? :icon_scratch:

Cheers,
Dave

steelheadwill · Jul 20, 2011

A great find is one that is better/more complete than the examples.
Didn't know there were 15th century Chafing dishes

congrats and best digs to you :thumbsup:
