Another Horse Paddock Field...

[CRUSADER]

Whilst dad & I scratched our head about where is left to try, we remembered a grass field where we got our first Cannon Ball. It was an OK choice as 2 horses where keeping the grass low & everywhere else is 2 foot high.
For a grass field which I'm pretty sure has never been ploughed we did pretty good (I think there was some earth movement but not plough)

1696 Shilling (don't get too many)
Toy Gun - most complete one I have had, normally only get the butt end, so the iron hammer is cool!
Circa 1800 'Toy' Cannon (A pleasure to find, & I can't remember how many years since my last one)
13th C Ring Brooch with Pin
Lovely condition Medieval Casket Key

awesome digs

I like the finds especially the police badge. Why would you need a key to a casket? To keep the stiff in or other stiffs out?

I thought the same thing! Were they worried about zombies or body snatchers?

Difference in US/UK meaning - a 'casket' is a small wooden box to keep your valueables in. A little like a jewelry box.

Well done, nice finds in the horse paddock. I'm still looking for my first toy cannon and a real one for that matter. The possibility of finding older history in the ground on your home turf would not allow me to sleep, ever... Art

It was better looking with the Church behind me, but don't want too many clues on the net
