Gravel Top Hill - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

Frosty & foggy all day & the first time I used my gloves most of the hunt. 4 hours to me & just over 2 hours for Dad.
No silver today, but we can't be too far off with the farthings turning up.
Best find of the day was a section of a Viking 11th C Mount - Urnes Style.

4 Scrappies
17th C Token (Halfpenny)
Royal & Rose Farthings
Buckles

Very nice Hunt! A lot of interesting finds.

The Farthing has some good detail on it still. The Viking mount is a very nice find for sure, I'm still wishing of something Viking as it's high on the wish list of wants.

They seem to turn up in the most random places, I've never found what I consider to be a Viking Site.

I wouldn't have had a clue what that mount was.

Wow! That viking mount saved the day for sure! The halfpenny token is neat too!

Looking at your stuff is like jumping into a time machine that didn't land in America until 200 years later..
Your finds just ooze history. Fun to see. Congrats on them.

I think you mean the Royal Farthing which is a nice one of James I. The halfpenny token is near blank.

Is that a Charles II farthing?

Yes, 1672.
