Last Hunt on 2nd Fav Field...

[CRUSADER]

Only spent 4 hours (8 man hours) finishing the bottom section of the field where Shuan7 & I were going to hunt last week, until he ploughed & rolled the top section (which is now in Wheat). Lower section will be Barley soon. It was very dry & lumpy, which is why I left it to last, hoping he would roll it flat. Still did very well

Nice collection of good buttons
Medieval Casket Key (had one yesterday as well)
Broken Clothes Fastener with man's face on it, new type.
Zoomorphic Belt Decor (Medieval)
2 Lead Cloth Seals
3.5 Lead Tokens
8 Roman Coins
A very Cool 17th C Buckle (new type for us)
3 Hammered to me & I ended with what I believe to be a late Georgian Gold plated Fob watch Winder, one of the best I have seen. Its only the Georgian bit I'm unsure of, but 80% confident.

We have spent a lot of time on the field this year & have had 38 hammered from it, in past years we might only get 4 or so

Amazing what people loose in their fields eh?

Well done mate.

Wow, what a day

Are you sure the watch winder is only plated? It's stunning

I see why it's a 2nd Fav Field. Very nice finds

That gold piece very nice. If 'only' plated must be a rather thick layer

Very thick high quality, must have been for a high status Gold Watch, one of the best I would say

I'm thinking Banner on the gold piece

Awesome finds. Some really nice buttons too

Thanks.

Forgot to say, the dull looking hammered is a 'Sterling' Imitation of the 13th Century (Edwardian Type), only my 2nd Imitation ever

No, can't remember the ID at the moment

The other one was found in the next door field when you were here with Woody & Bio.

Look at the above, none of the many that have detected the great land in Colchester has one as nice as mine Although I love the pistol one on the site

 

[WhiteHunter]

Great finds! I think the black buckle is a RAF buckle

 

[shaun7]

Nothing like it there

 

[CRUSADER]

I think your right. I was poking out a lump which the plogh scrapped & was broken in situ

Good Hunt Crusader.....

 

[IronSpike]

I know Crusader doesn't sell his finds nor does he need a value indication to know how unique this watch key is I still think Banner on this piece

Check out this 'three legged man' watch key on this link:

Cru.....I think you have made a mistake :P you should have posted that outstanding watch key in a separate post, it's defiantly BANNER

By the way whats the weight
