Intricate Silver Brooch/Pin (Victorian) & some other bits - bad ankles!
Hi All,
It wasn't a complete waste of day but a fair drive over the border into Yorkshire. The Derby club I belong to had organised a dig in a field up there yesterday (Sunday) - It had just been ploughed and was well rough on the ankles - A few Roman grots were found by a couple of the guys but most ended up with very little finds, a few with nothing at all, it was quiet!.
I came back with only a handful of things but nothing as old as Roman.
4 Coins, George I, George III, George V & Liz II Pennies/Halfpennies:
4 Buttons:
2 Buckles (the smaller one medieval I believe) and a Horse & Jockey Pin/Badge?
I was relieved when I hit a bit of Silver - not a coin but this small intricate unusually-shaped brooch or pin - I think its Victorian, what do you think?
Only saw one piece of pottery in the whole field, also a beer tap and a heart-shaped piece of metal - picked them up to fill my bag up a bit!
Had a great lunch though and the Sun kept shining for us all day.
Today (Monday) I was out on my own patch (the new farm where the Hammered gilded copper strip came from etc.) and got some finds spanning 4000 years at least - hopefully I'll get to photograph them tomorrow but now I'm absolutely pooped and need my bed!
Speak soon,
Night
