Day 6 - Barley Field 2 - The Return...

[CRUSADER]

I cycled up my favourite lane looking for what land was available & I noticed that the farmer had flatten Barley Field 2 into a perfect state! (I had left this field on day 5 after he had raked it up) I looked no further & started my search.

I went over some of the area I had already done & got a couple of scrappies & a foriegn hammered.

Found a rare Brunswich musket ball

3 scrappy Romans
Part of a Roman Brooch
Most of a Military Roman 'Vulva' mount (leather mount on the cavalry horses)
A tiny lead figure of a spinx (I nearly chucked it in my scrap lead pocket)
and bits..

This is the kinda 5 hours I enjoy, all because of hitting the right field at the right time in the right conditions. Dad & I will return tomorrow, however I have hit the best areas so we may not get as much. (funny, some of my best days are on my own)

Day 7 is today & I'm readying myself with a English Breakfast. Always a good way to start the day, specially when your farmer friends give you proper free-frange eggs
