Failing Oil-seed Rape Fields...

[CRUSADER]

Out & about as a team again today with a 4 hour 15 min hunt.
This time of year we look for areas of failed oil-seed rape. We found a near whole field that we had never tried, but although having a few signs like the lead pot mends, it was a bust other than a buckle.
We tried 2 other fields with pretty poor results, but it's to be expected this time of year.

Scrap Silver (pipe stem piece)
2 late/post Medieval Cauldron Feet
2 Medieval Buckles
1 nice Livery Button.
Bits...

I don't think I've found a 14th C Buckle Plate with the 5 rivets still in place. They normally only have 4.

Nice hunt Cru! I like that button and the buckles. What's caused the oil-seed rape crop to fail over there this year? Drought? Looking forward to your next post man.

I'm a big buckle fan and drool over those medieval ones. Never bothered counting the rivets so that's even cooler. Would you consider this find something antiquities would be interested in? Just curious

Still some nice finds, Cru. Congrats.

Congrats to you both on your finds

Not too shabby at all Cru ! I'm reminded again that your mediocre day would be a super day for most of us !

Congratulations on another day of great digs. Do you ever have days when you are skunked?

With our usually very targeted research, I can't remember being skunked in years (many years).
I post every hunt on here, so if it happens your be the first to know.
