Lots of options at the moment, but we decided to risk it on a farm that Cru'Dad spent just 1.5 hours on the other day (got 1 button). It had 2 crop-marks in 1 field & lots of other fields available which we have never searched.
I started on the high ground to get a view of the fields, & fluked out a nice Jetton. We then wandered another field & on our way back cut across the 2nd Crop-mark & I fluked out a Celtic Bronze Unit. After some gridding we gave up with just 1 scrappy & some Georgian bits. I had liked the look of a small field on the way in & that's where we headed next. Exactly in the spot I liked the look of, Cru'Dad & I got a Saxon object each.
A great result for these unknown fields (4 hours):

1 Scrappy
Celtic Bronze Unit (Coin)
2 Crotal Bells
18th C Hawking Bell
2 Royal Farthings
Jetton
Modern 9Kt Gold Ring
Hat Buckle/Shoe Buckle
Circa 8th C Saxon Strap-end - New type for me & nice patination.
Lovely circa 8-9th C Saxon double Trefoil Mount (Never seen this, looks like a belt slide or maybe scabbard mount??) (Congrats to Dad)

Congratulations yet again. Love the posts of your finds. Spectacular finds seem to be your norm. Exceptional job when one considers the slim windows of opportunity that farm fields offer.

That is a lot of digging hope the ground was not too hard

It was mostly tricky lumps of clay, but we are used to it.
