I went back to the Abbey field today!

[shaun7]

Hello all, lots of digging today in the part of the field that i've been over twice. This time i gridded properly and came
up with a good few bits!

Over 20 buttons
Lead tokens and seals,
a spindle whorl
a thingy with tudor roses on it
a 1949 sixpence and a george111 halfpenny
and a pan weight with markings!

No hammered to replace the TWO i have now lost at the hands of my missus

[spartacus53]

It seems your gridding the area paid off big time

 

[woody50]

Back and side view!

Thanks Shaun, you are getting to be a professional very quickly, even your photos are better than mine!
Maybe soon you will surpass me! I think these photos will help to make a better determination. I myself don't know, first time I have seen such an object....

Back and side view!

I still think horse boss, Early Victorian I think.

Maybe one day you might get something nice off this field

Great finds of this field shaun7

Reckon it could be horse furniture. It most certainly looks like the pic Silver Searcher posted.
