Bonus Fields - A little bit of everything...

[CRUSADER]

This is Mondays 5 hour hunt.
As luck would have it we still have 6 un-planted fields to hunt. Although its tough going with the heavy clay not getting any rain for ages.

8 Scrappies
2 Livery Buttons
Medieval Buckle
3 Lead Tokens
Tudor Strap-end
Bit of a Medieval Pilgrims Ampulla
Roman Pin-head
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Tudor Knife Terminal
Charles I Hammered Penny

Still just keeping the silver streak alive!

I'm with you. I found a field waiting for corn, but grubbed and the lumps dry to the bone and like a layer of gravel. You barely got any signals out of it.....
You still squeezed some nice finds out! A hammered is never bad, but it's too bad for the deer livery button...

Excellent post CRU if I found any of those I wouldnt have a clue what they were but I would be pretty happy. What was there before where there is so many things like those to be found was it a Village or town or something England is so rich in History just Amazing ...I recently read about 2 treasure hunters one was 38 the other 51 and they found Millions of Dollars some where in England Gold rings coins artifacts and they didnt report it it was in the news here in the US........I really appreciate your posts amazing job as always.......Tommy

Any hammered is worth digging through hard dry clay.

Lots of bits and bobs...
What is the coin? that has the deer figure on it. That seems unusual.

Love the finds!

The soil is pretty harsh in this area.

No village no buildings. These fields have always been fields & they have been farmed for 2000 years. What your seeing is mostly what has been carted off from the nearby town & dumped on the fields.

I not sure which 2 people you mean but it might be those 2 that got 10 years prison sentence? (Viking hoard)

Thats one of the 1830's Livery Button. Once had silver or gold gilt which is all gone.

Nice selection of finds. I really cherish the Medieval Pilgrims Ampulla that I recovered on my second trip over. Didn't realize how few are complete actually.

Yeah idiots. If they had help return this nationally important find to the UK they would have avoid jail time. Numbnuts.

I forgot to mention most of the buttons come from the rag trade & the farmers in this heavy clay area would lighten the soil with the woolen rags. A form of fertiliser.

Being lead I find more broken ones that not.

That's a killer colection of finds Crusader. I'm especially fond of the livery button with the deer image. Very fine!
