Cru'Dad out scouting...

Dad spent 3 hours on his own searching new land (Barley Stubble), near a Roman Road. No Roman stuff but a surprising & rare find for us; Saxon/Viking Horse Strap Junction - 9-11th Century. I put a complete one (not found by us) to show what it would have looked like. We have so much new land, this will be put down as a maybe, as it has potential

Second dig was a nice 17th Century Token of:

Edmvnd Greene
Hvsborne Crawley (Beds)
1668

Just up the road from us

Forgot:

You know what its like, 2 big stubble fields (new Land, only 10% of the total, the rest in Wheat & Beans) & no intel from google earth, its a shot in the dark, but one always worth doing if you have the luxury of time - which we really don't.

So I'm waiting on our most valuable team member to give us the heads up, on when the Wheat is off the 'known' sites. Time to party

Why called Token of the 17th century ... not coin? Here we call them Ardite.

It was an illegal token which were made by shops & pubs to plug the shortfall of small change. The Govt. turned a blind eye because they couldn't produce enough coins. Its a Token which on its own would buy you nothing, you had to have several & it was only spendable in 1 shop/pub etc.

Hi and thanks for the clarification.
