Barley Stubble Field_No.1 - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

All the straw is now off the field but we still are awaiting rain that is due tomorrow.
We changed tactics & went to the far edge outside of the normal spread of coins. We did this for a couple of reasons, it's between the site & the river, it's an area we haven't done so much & area I can't do with my high powered machine because of the power lines. So Dad with his Cortes covered some new area whilst I gridded as close as I could & then headed toward the good area. After nearly 5 hours it was only partly successful:

3 Scrappies
Nice Button
Lead Token
17th C Token
Jetton
Dad got a bit of a Viking Stirrup Mount, sad it was busted up so bad.

Rain will simplify detecting there and the possibility to get more/better viking stuff is incentive enough!

Amazing that you could I.D. that off that small fragment ! (the Viking piece )

Congratulations on the productive hunt, I love the buttons.

And this is only partly successful! I'd call it super finds!

Interesting finds Cru, I like the padlock face and the 'GR' military button!

Too bad about your Dad's Viking Stirrup Mount not being complete.

Being the only Viking piece we have ever had off the field & that it came off a horse, the likelihood of anything else is about 0.

Fairly easy field ID (Dad thought buckle plate) when its your special area of interest.

The Royal Army Service Corp button has a special meaning to me as its the same WWI type that my Great Grandad would have worn. He went over to France in the earliest wave of Soldiers, & he was one of the few who came back. I have his medals.

Hard to see but its a Bronze Pin, most likely a Roman hair type.
