Went back to where I had the 2 hammered last sunday. I didn't expect much as its a remote location, but I was very happy with the final result. We did 10 man hours work without a break on solid baked clay with sunny conditions. We covered 2 acres of land carefully. Still 1.5 acres of the set-a-side left to do tomorrow. Then we may have to go back to the Huge Field!

As luck would have it I found all the nice stuff, makes up for my Dads axehead etc.
Finds were:

Buttons - Victorian Hunts button with dogs head, broken Tudor (1500s) button, rare 17th century button, & a Navy button.

Coins - 1670s farthing, Edward I cica 1270s Penny, Broken hammered, 6 Roman bronze coins

Buckles - Modern stuff, a nice mini 17th century type ;D, 18th century Clog Clasp.

Lead - 2 Bag seals, medieval weight, 17th century black powder flask lid.

Star finds - Bronze Roman lock fitting, Gilt medieval belt mount, Medieval Casket Key

Bits - 4 broken clay pipes, several parts of a whatsit, etc...

See how it goes tomorrow :)

Thanks I will. Hate to rub it in but this is still the least productive time of year (although this particular year has been our best). Aug/Sep time will be one of my best - I just know it. New land & a Roman Villa to find. Also hoping for some Saxon stuff.

Keep watching ;D
 
Awesome finds, congrats and nice variety of coins and relics. HH, Mike
