Last Go on the Horse Paddock Field...

[CRUSADER]

The horses will be moved to this paddock at the weekend, so my 2nd hunt on here is my last for awhile. Last time I cherry picked & zigzagged the field for only 1.5 hours & did pretty well for pasture thats never been ploughed.

Today, I started a systematic hunt starting at the far end, covered about 3rd of the field on my lone 3 hour hunt. This field is just full of junk & I lost count of how many old type foil milk bottle tops I dug & some at 6inches folded in half :P They kinda sound like deep Geo coppers on my settings.

Last time I got 3 18th century plain buckles & before I started this hunt I was sure I would get at least a decorated one, well I got 2 & I need them both (different variants for the collection).

Pleased with the Rumbler Bell, complete & ring plus its a large one which I have very few of.
I like the Welsh Military Capbadge (WWI, I think), never had one in complete condition.

Beginning to wonder where the silver had gone (shows how well I hoovered them up in the last short session) , but managed a 1844 Sixpence on the way back to the car. (again)

A bonus complete old ketchup bottle

Still a fun hunt--and nice to see some silver come up. The bell is a good find. I only have one complete bell, and it's not as old as yours with the counterstamp on the bottom end.

Congratulations on your lovely Capbadge ! do not give up , I am sure you have a few stubble fields waiting to be hunted, the silver coin is deserved limelight.
Greetings!

no stubble fields on any of the land we have permission (hundreds of thousands of acres), no EU subsidies anymore

I just dug an old sleigh/crotal fully intact recently myself.
Great keeper

Nice badge It's pre-1920 for sure judging by its spelling. As for me militaria is far more interesting than humble silvers.
