Finally a Great Day...

[CRUSADER]

It's been awhile since we had a day as good as this. This field has in the past given us every period of British history, which in itself is rare.

We did 4 hours 15 minutes, some of it in the rain, thankfully this field is quite sandy so we were spared the sticky boots.

Buttons - Livery, early Navy, 17th C, 18th C pewter, Tudor, etc..

1 good Buckle - late Medieval

2 Leather Mounts
Lead Roman Ring (our 3rd ever in close succession)
Celtic/Roman Fibula (Brooch)

Good lord!, are your arms tired?; that's a lot of finds.

Not really, it was a fairly average length day & the trash digs seem to be only 2/3rds of the keepers. We are used to digging far more & that is why I keep on about being quick on the recovery. It helps cover more area, we covered about 2 acres yesterday.

My back hurts looking at all that. Does anyone know what kind of cross is on the piece of hammered resting on the nickle in the bottom photo?

Its called a Cross Pattee with pellets in each angle.

I daresay you've had at least 17 great days, so no "finally" is needed lol

Even with my great site I still wish this country had the history yours does

Great looking Sceat for sure, just getting the other finds in one hunt is a very good day. The clog fastener is on the want list still, along with the elusive sceat.

It took me 20ish years & several upgrades to get my first sceat, then it opened the flood gates. Also, it has also sometimes taken us 2-3 years of clearing a site until the appear.

Now that's a nice haul. Always feels good to pull out of a slump.
