Last Ploughed Field - Day 2..........

[CRUSADER]

Just over 5 hours (10 man hours) in hail/sleet/rain showers.

45 buttons - best 1 day total this year breaking yesterdays record.
A couple of new types of Military Shoulder/Lapel/Capbadges. Particularly a pick axe crossing a rifle, so maybe a rare WWI tunnellers.
Nice early cockerel barrel tap piece
Hammered complete but foldered over of the Commonweath 1649-60 - Penny. Its my first penny of this type so I will not attempt to bend it.
1 scrappy

Tomorrow looks like a better day (weather wise), & its our last chance on this field

a pick axe crossing a rifle

Not positive, but I think this may be an early WWI period Royal Pioneers badge.

It is, I since researched it & found out a few days ago, but thanks for the ID. Its a collar dog for the Pioneers. First one I have found & not as rare as I first thought.

Congrats on the finds. I had to grab a towel to wipe up the slobbers while looking at your finds. If you place the coin in cooking oil and cook it till it starts to really smoke you can take it out on a hard surface and gradually press firmly. Stop before it gets cool.
