After yesterdays amazing hunt this field deserved a name other than Cru'dads field code. So today I named it Bag Seal City, if you need to ask....
After yesterday my hopes were high but we both knew we had probably blown it for silver for awhile, but I still hoped for just 1 today, which never happened even after 6 hours 15 minutes gridding (13 man hours). Not complaining, as we still have some way to go.

Bits...

With all the junk we dug a lot of holes today, I can sure feel it, for a change!

Jep, looks like a lot of digging, even without the trash. Were these bag seals from potash bags? They used a lot of it... This field really is like new! Congrats!

Some kind of manure, from the mid 20th C.
 

Outrageous ! what is the medieval looking cross bit ?
 

Holy C-c-c-c-ats man! I ain’t never been to England but I feel as if I have been now!:laughing7: For a guy in the US upper Midwest where 1850 is about as old as it gets, those pics are like something I’d seen in my high school history books! I know it’s old hat to you guys and there’s “better” to be found, but there’s a lot of “wow factor” right there. Absolutely fantastic volume and detail, I cannot imagine digging ANY of that, and likely never will. Props on digging that many holes, that in itself probably would’ve killed me. What a stellar hunt!!

I believe it to be a mis-IDed pilgrims badge of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. I've seen these attached to a late 19th C magic box, but I think they pinned them on other items as well.
 

Some really lovely bits in there Crusader
