Another Cru'Day

Shaun7 joined me early this morning for a 7.5 hour gridding session. We were on my 2nd Fav Field & conditions were dry but very flat, he will seed it in a few days so this was our last chance. As tomorrow we will be on Shaun's Abbey Site. Not sure we can follow a day like this one!

Both strangely finished on 41 buttons each! (82 would have been Dad & I's 1 day record)

I'm very pleased with a 3 Hammered day including a Groat of?

, & Edward III 1356 Penny.

Other items:
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Tudor Belt Decor
7 Roman Coins
Strapend
William III Love Token
Buckles
& stuff.....

Cheers, I thought one of the Henrys but haven't spent any time on it yet & the start letters are misssing.

See Shaun7's

More for the pile!

If you're exposing your military buttons like that KD Guards to water... stop. It's washing away your patina, better cleaned dry and keep more of the green! :thumbsup:

I guess the spit did it no good then

I think it looks better than it did when I dug it, I'm happy with it to join my others. (although the next one I will try your method)

Yep.. the spit is probably why some of the green is gone in places you would have liked it to remain. It took me many years before I realized dumping your days digs in the water wasn't the best thing to do!
