Inspired by 'Lean Times'...

Inspired by SS's post last night I decided to take the came with me. I don't do this very often, as its not mine, hard to carry, & wastes time.
Anyway first pictures are the field, we are doing full lengths up to the stubble in the background.
First Roman Coin coming out the ground & a nice Military Button.
Picture of the rubbish we clear, & the Lead (not as much today as normal).

We did 5 hours 45mins (11 hours 30 mins).

Typically no silver when I bring the camera

Still very pleased with the large 17th Century Tombac Button. Never seen this type but could easily have been used during the Civil War by someone with some wealth.
Fake George III Shilling
2 Jettons
5 Roman Coins
4 17th C Tokens
6.5 Lead Tokens
Tudor Book Clasp
bits...

You have real treasure fields there . That stuff is really worth digging. Good finds compared to usual WW1 junk here .

Thanks, & I just found out 1 of the 17th C Tokens is very rare

Yeap, only token from this particular town. (ie. the town only had 1 business big enough to makes these, the Pub )

Not in good enough condition to be worth anything, just another rare type to the expanding collection. (I never sell stuff like this)
