CruDads 10th Hammered of the Year!

Cru'Dad's 10th Hammered of the Year!

Dad dropped me off to get a head start on the field as he couldn't make it until after lunch. I spent 6 hours on the field & Dad about 3.5 hours.

I did all the hard work gridding & Dad turns up & on the second run gets his 10th hammered of the year. He has been trying hard for this for several outings. Its a shortcross which I'm having difficulty IDing. It could be our first Richard I (the lionheart) or its Bad King John Fingers crossed for the first one I will update later when I have a positive ID.

I then got my 27th hammered (this year) of Richard II 1377-99 - we only have a couple of him

I also got a Bronze Awl, similar to the one Dad found. Could be 2000BC, there is a Bronze Age Burial nearby.

Georgian Pan/Trade Weight
Tudor Clothes Fastener
17th Century Buckle
Tudor Button
2 Scrappies
1816 Sixpence

Covered a lot of land but a pleasing result.

No I said I wanted a nice one However if its a King 'Lionheart' then its a special find, & fills a gap in the album.

This field is very strange, doesn't have the normal stuff that you would expect with the hammered & 1 roman silver & hardly any scrappies

Trust me, you will have to work hard to get a hammered from here, but it is possible, its the sort of field that anything could happen 8)

Re: Cru'Dad's 10th Hammered of the Year!

This is the best hobby in the world. You & your Dad out hunting & finding stuff like this. It don't get any better. You guys are lucky. Congrats on the great finds. I am lucky i don't live there because i would hunt myself to death.
