Day 14 - Big Grass Field........

[CRUSADER]

4.5 hours hunt & it was still very windy.

No coins yesterday but 7 today. (2 scrappy romans)

Best find Victorian Silver Sixpence

4 of the Lead Bag Seals are;
J Harris, bacon curers, Caine Wiltshire (1905 ish)

They must have loved their bacon.

Nice finds Crusader, the silver is nice! Thought I found my first Roman coin yesterday, turned out to be an old button. Today was also very windy here with a light rain, 2.5 hours got me about $0.48 American cents, LOL, but it is always fun. HH, Mike

No a pan weight, probably late Victorian.

No its the round thing to the right of it with a raised rim. The item with the hole is a late Georgian furniture decor (the hole was for the drawer handle).

Years ago when we gain permission for this field I found a gold half soveriegn on one of the first outings. Since then we worked out there was very little here, until we found the Bronze Age Axe & a Celtic Silver Unit. So anything could turn up. But its another field that when finished will not be covered again.
