Lead Seals, Coins, Buckles, Buttons, Worked Flint and Live Bullet!

[DavidBeard]

Hi All,
Great weather we're havin in the UK just lately!
Recently searched in a delightful little field, not too far away from home - visited 3 times so far, I'll leave it for a while now as grass is growing long again.
Finds so far from this little area:

Two Lead Seals:





George V 1927 Half Crown, George VI 1942 Sixpence (Silver .500 fine)



Handfull of other coins ranging from 1862 Victoria to Elizabeth II 1959 Half Pennies



Plenty of Buckles



Thimbles and Buttons



A nice piece of worked flint (scraper or cutter) - The area has been known for flint-tool finds in the past.



Not so much trash - including a metal badge plate 'J. BENNETT, MAKER, DERBY'



and a live bullet, more than likely a .303 British Mk VII SAA Ball cartridge

Looks like the finds rate is going up, things will get even better on new ploughed fields Roll-on Harvest

The Silver Halfcrown is a rare find in my books

The flint is just a knaped piece of waste.

The J. BENNETT, MAKER, DERBY piece is a Victorian saddler or harness makers badge (I think).

I'm hoping that the farmer will plough this field eventually but as its grass he won't need to do it for a while yet. I don't think by seeing the number of finds in such a small area that this particular field has been done before - The farmer can't remember anyone going on it either

Would love to go out with Crusader and Shaun7 but sadly I live miles away from them.

Man, even your lead seals are more interesting then ours over here. It's gotten to the point that if I see a tiny, English, Iris, or Scottish flag next to the Username, I check that post out immediately! Great stuff, as always.
