Day 7 R*pe Field.......

[CRUSADER]

Best way to recover from yesterdays heavy night was to get back out in the fresh air!

Not a very productive day, I was hoping the farmers would have taken in the crops on some of my fav fields but it was back to the R*pe field instead.

3 Hours (6 man hours)

17th century flat top spoon handle
poor 17th century token
2 broken Medieval buckles
Copper core of a fake medieval hammered half crown (badly broken)
and bits....

Looking forward to next week

That rock in the first pic is root beer flint. That is some beautiful stuff to flint knap. I make arrowheads and that is some beautiful stuff. It's plentiful in the UK but not in the US. I think there is a creek somewhere out west that has some, but they limit the amount you can keep when you find it. I have one piece that I'm waiting until I'm a better knapper before I touch it.
There is a building somewhere in England that is made from the stuff. I saw it on line and starting drooling like a dog! I digs me some rock!

Some nice finds - - enough to keep you busy at night doing some research no doubt. Do you maintain your own library of research materials and if so is there any you recommend?
