I wrecked my back the other day carrying bags of mulch, can’t even swing the detector. Here’s some finds and sites from the past few hunts. This field is where a medieval farm once stood, the house stood near the middle where you can see a dry spot. On this day I could see the perfect outline of the building, much larger than I thought it was, it connected to the left with 4 very large barns. The site has produce some awesome relics but it getting hunted out after years of detecting it.
A field with black dirt, I figure it was a swamp back in the early days. Was hoping for a Celtic votive offering but only found a few relics and coins from the 1800s.
An old mill I know nothing about. A couple told me about it while detecting another field. A storm came in so I only took a few pictures. Mill front.
Mill back.
The water wheel well filled in.
Some musket balls and a bullet.
A few buttons.
Not sure what these lead objects are, maybe slugs/bullets. Has the initials G.G 17461 T.O. in the center. I found them about 20’ apart.
A partial old pin, two religious pendants, two finger rings and a watch winder.
A 20 gram weight and three thimbles from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
A few surface finds, clay marble, glass bead, glass button and a partial clay pipe.
A nice old spindle whorl, two lead seals and a face made of lead.
A nice little gold plated lamb pendant, very heavy for its size.
Two small silver coins, 1861 and 1849.
Reverse of the coins.
A few more buttons.
A few coins from 1897 and 1938.
A small silver 1848 coin.
Reverse of the 1848.
Found this somewhat brutal religious pendant of St. Michael slaying the devil. St. Michael is often referred to as the commander of God’s army and patron Saint of many. Obverse shows St. Michael thrusting a scepter through the devil’s head as he lay on the ground. Dates to the 1700s and possibly earlier as the pendants I researched from the 1700s have words written around the legend.
Reverse of the pendant. A cross with initials “PPFF” at the ends of the cross which represent the 4 virtues of chivalry. Piety, Perseverance, Fortitude and Fidelity in no certain order. And another religious pendant. HH, Mike
