Farm Shop Field - New Land........UPDATED

[CRUSADER]

I got a rather excited call late last night from my newbie detectorist friend. He has been using my back-up Cortes on some of the new land he got permission for us to search. He had only found a few odds & sods but reported lots of lead. I said stick at it as lead is a sign of good land. Anyway, he continued the systematic search as I had shown him & towards the very end of the run he was about to turn around but he said he heard a little 'Cru' voice saying "cover it all, & don't miss the edges", so continued on & found his best find so far. Its in the first two pictures, a lovely Medieval Knife Terminal with a mans head on one side & a ladies on the other. One of the nicest I have seen & pretty rare.

Dad & I joined him today & did very well for 3 hours:

1 Hammered each - The better one is Edward I circa 1280s (Canturbury Mint)
2 Medieval Buckles
Interesting bronze Roman whatzit - one for the Archies to ID.
Medieval Beehive Thimble
Roman Bronze Snake bracelet piece

Dad got his nicest Seal Matix with a Lion

Only in shape, which was popular for Churches & monastery's. This one is a Merchants I think, Robs was much more high status.

Nice finds and congrats on finding new land this time of year.

Do you have a pic showing what the knife would have looked like? Some of us over here are at a loss when it comes to the things you find. My congrats to the newbie on that find.

Iron bladed knife's never survive, so I have nothing to show, sorry.

I was just about to ask. Have you set a button goal for the year?

What part of the knife is the terminal?

No goals for buttons, as its the first year count, don't know how high too aim!

The terminal is the end. ie. the top opposite the point of the blade.
