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.

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.

My thoughts exactly!

Crackin' coins, you blokes are doing well this year.
Congrats to Cru'dad

Each year we wonder how the hell we will beat the previous. This year is my first with the XP & I'm more confident than ever, that this year has not only got off to a flying start, but we will have another record breaking year. (our totals are similar to the end of Sep last year)!

This is a serious problem, I have a weakness from over doing it in the past. I now try & pace myself but I seem to want to over do it

Today is a break day, tomorrow will be our last chance on this field, & as far as we can tell our last ploughed field until harvest.
