Buckle Field - Day 4...

CRUSADER · May 17, 2015

We had a short window of 3 hours & 15 Minutes, to prove to ourselves that it was time to move on, as the finds were getting less. In the end we proved we need to keep gridding a bit more;

Tudor Button
Lead Token
Scarce type of 17th C Buckle
A Chubb Key Spill...
Lead Cloth Seal
Bent Saxon Strapend

Yeap, They where just hanging on to a rusty ring that broke as soon as I dug them. No idea why you would need so many diiferent ones. (I think they are door key?)

Dad did some reserch on the Cloth Seal he found:

I think the Lead Cloth seal is one of the COUNTY Types used for cloth. The Lombardic letters with a Crown-over- Portcullis seal were used by Devon, Kent, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Worcestershire and Yorkshire. The inscription normally went something like S’VLN’PAO’VEAL’I CO’ ….. being short for Sigillum Ulnagii Pannorum Venalicum in Comitata. (Seal of alnage of saleable cloths in the county of ..). I can certainly see the PAO part.
