Failed Oilseed Rape Field - Day 4 - Finished!

CRUSADER · May 26, 2013

I spent 5.5 hours finishing the failed area with Dad helping for just over 1 hour. Hot day today, which means I got a little sun burnt. :tongue3:

Funny how I recently posted on Hispans post that I hoped to get another Horse Pendant this year, but I never expected it so soon! Wow!

2 Scrappies
1 Lead Token
1667 Halfpenny Token
Medieval Lead Cross
13th C Annular Buckle
Hunts Button (Fox Head)
Nice 18th C Pewter Button
14th C Medieval Horse Harness Pendant :headbang:

2 hours into the hunt I had 4 plain buttons, I began to wonder what I was going to say on Tnet, then out of the blue the Horse Pendant. As long as you keep gridding, the hope is that something should show, even in a tough field.

I like this brass furniture handle and the bronze buckle!

Good job on the pendant ! How well catalogued are all the varieties of these ?- have you found examples of these that are not "in the books" ?

What's with the title?
I'm perplexed. Have I missed the previous posts, everyone else doesn't seem to be confused by "failed oilseed rape field" there...

Day 4 suggests its the 4th day on this field & yes I have explained in a number of posts why some fields have failed oilseed rape in them. :icon_scratch:

Rememeber the gold cross in the Staffordshire Hoard, well my Lead cross was all deliberately foldered in on itself in the same way. I wonder if this is a Saxon period cross & I can't think of a good reason, other than to defile anothers religion, why you would bent it all in??
