Barley Stubble/Ploughed Field - Day 5...

CRUSADER · Jul 10, 2011

After my Bro & Sis had left, we decided to have a short hunt (2hrs 45mins) with my Italian Uncle to see if he could get any of his ancestors coins :laughing7:

Sadly I got the only scrappy of the day but he did manage one of the better finds; A nice large counterstamped 1811 Halfpenny token 8) He also got an 18th C sword belt slider. Always enjoyable taking out a newbie, you never know what will pop up.
I had a foldered hammered (Ed I, I think) - pretty sure its the 'old custom' fold.
Also had the bottom of a Saxon Brooch

The 2nd from this field.
2 Lead Tokens
US Button
2 early 19th C Militia Buttons, same Militia but different makers :headbang:

So another 'good enough' short hunt. :thumbsup:

cant believe you got a memorial penny

if i went clear to england,im in a field,and dug one of those zincons that might just push me over the edge. (dug over a 100 of them today between 2 hunts) :tongue3:

Its bad enough when i'm mding in canada and i dig them.Nice finds i love the hammered coins.

Interesting finds today Cru! :icon_thumright:

Love the look of the script on this button!

I like this thimble as well!
I'd love to find an old thimble one day . . . I'd probably get it gold plated too! :laughing7:

How old might these two pieces be? :icon_scratch:

Thanks mate,
Dave
