Day 3 results …

[blossom]

Day 3 was a beautiful cooler day and a new field, we were looking for an old path shown on early 1800’s map.
More beautiful buttons, a livery button made by Firmin shows a lion holding a sword and possibly a Fleur-de-lis? A ring, a small trade weight, pot fragments, spatula type thing… and 2 interesting objects ?!
Many Assorted other unknown objects! A nice peice of pottery and a heavy scalloped bit of iron 🤔

A few coins currently being id’ed by himself xx

''old path shown on early 1800’s map''

I used to think footpaths were as good idea, they are not really. Why would you lose anything on a footpath. Rarely happens. Things on fields are dumped there mostly, or settlement & farming activity.
I assume you have downloaded google earth & research Crop-marks? If not, this is the most valuable research route, I have a few other secrets but this one I can share. Look at the timeline & ensure you try every date given for each field.

In your 5th picture to the left of the weight is a spigot tap top. Under it is part of a early 1900s toy gun (the butt end).

Thanks, we were just interested in this one as it was the route used from a wharf, so more goods being moved along it. Havent looked into crop marks yet. But will def look into that! Thank you! x

I guess a picture wouldn't be any help would it?
Have you ever tried the magnifier app.?
Brilliant toy for the phone.

Ok so have had a go at capturing the marks, but its 3cm approx, weighs 12 gms… yes use the magnifying iPhone, but prefer The loop as phone is more Bulky to use on angles …. no Doubt with ur expert eye, you will recognise it immediately 😂 bless you x

As they don't look like early marks & the weight looks more modern, it's most likely 19th C or later.

Cropmarks are the best/easiest available route to finding Ancient Sites. Your getting all the short-cuts I had to learn the hard way.
