Field of 500.....

[CRUSADER]

On Monday Cru'dad did a short hunt on Bag Seal City, but digging was too tough, tried the Field of 500 & could just get a spade in the cracks so we tried this field early this morning before the heat got too much. Now in our 2nd heat wave & officially drought conditions.
Only did 4 hours, digging was very hard but choosing an area that was on the edge of the scatter & in to no-mans land, meant much more signals. (mostly junk)

2 Scrappies
2 17th C Tokens - 1 cancelled with a square nail to the middle
Spec Buckle
Cru'dad got a Scarce type of 13-14th C Medieval Buckle - Haven't seen this type & only about 6 Recorded on the PAS & no complete examples, ours being the best front end!

Cru',
I think I would melt after about half an hour into digging in that kind of heat. Stay hydrated. Thanks for sharing!

sounds like you needed a pickaxe to recover those sweet digs, good fortitude!

I was just watching the news here in the US and saw the dried up river beds in England. Right away I thought of you guys and wondering how you guys like mud?

Cool stuff!

True, but never needed to own one until now, however I don't want to carry one around, as they don't make good walking sticks, like the spades do. Therefore, next time I'm carrying my rock hammer that I got for going fossil hunting with my nephew, as it has a sharp chisel end.

Our main river is just low & fishing terrible, so I have no fall back to a better option hobby. In this respect, I've never known a year like it. (normally a muddy colour river, now crystal clear to over 5ft, the back waters are full of weed/greenery, never seen anything like it)

Nice finds there!

Good luck chiseling those relics, those finds sure make me want to journey across the atlantic pond to swing on some european dirt...I am a man of limited means so when I can afford it I really want to mudlark the thames (need the permit of course) at least once in my life. Happy hunting.
