Gravel Top Hill - Day 1...

[CRUSADER]

Some of this site we did last year but left the most overgrown weedy bit for now when its died down a bit. Still not great but its better than the sticky boots we have been having, because this field is gravel/sandy on a hill. I also noticed even with the big coil it was easier to push throw the dead weeds without the coil wire that the GMP had, so thats another advantage of the Deus I hadn't thought about.

3 Scrappies
2 Jettons
17th C Token

My first Lead Papal Bulla (1/2 a one!), Dad got our first example last year, which was one of the highlights!

A good 3.5 hour start to the new year.

Great start to the new year...I know the rest of the year will be just as good or if not, even better than last...

The Papal Bulla is the find of the day still waiting on my first. Is there enough for a ID.

Really nice start of the New Year, getting the Papal Bulla, Fibula, and hammered, as well as the pretty nice Jettons.

Do leave the bent hammered as is or do you straighten them? You have probably have stated it a few times over the years of posting but need a reminder.

Very nice Cru. I thought that one pic looked like 3 jettons. Which one is the token?

The 17th C Brass Farthing (Token) is the smaller bottom one.

If they are relatively common & easy to straighten, I give it a go. This one will not straighten without heat, so I will leave it. Maybe one day I will find the right person to do the job on the lot.
