Exploring a new field.........

[CRUSADER]

We headed out to go to a large field with a Bronze Age burial mound in it. However, on the way we saw that 3 smaller fields closer to the villiage were ploughed & not planted. So we stopped off & tried one of them.

Only spent 2 hours closest to the villiage.

Dad did around the edges to map it & I gridded.

Still learning the XP & dug two pouches of iron, but did get a short cross hammered:
King John
Cut Half Penny
1199-1216
[HENRICV]S REX
Bust holding sceptre

Short Cross
[RA]VF.ON.LV[NDE]
Class 5c

Not much lead in this field, so next time we will explore one of the other 2 fields.

The clay was very sticky & it was an excusing 2 hours.

I wish that I could detect in Europe!
You could go practically anywhere and possibly find something!
Thousands of years of history, you never know.

Nice finds.

nice finds.

Its already quite smaller, well in any case the pound. Only 1.10 euros for one pound! Will be pretty cheap for our September visit.
Arn't you English guys scared if the pound becomes so cheap that every detectorist in Europe will run to England?

No, I have plenty of land to search. A small army would only dent it.
