Medieval finds from the Castle field

[Silver Searcher]

Hit some new fields today the weather was a bit on the cold side temperatures not climbing above 3 degrees but the expectations of a new field in good area made it worth putting up with the cold. The ground was a lovely sandy soil the only trouble with this it wears the silver coins badly this was soon confirmed with the fist decent find a Victorian sixpence (old head) to yards further on and another silver the fist hammered of the day Edward the1V penny(1461-1485) again badly worn, I had travelled the full length of the field with not much else to show outher than a few bronze coins completely devoid of any detail. On turning the corner I had my second hammered of the day in the form of a cut half penny Henry 11 (1154-199) not much else came up coin wise after this but I did manage a nice medieval beehive thimble only my second ever and easily the best, heres the pictures

Nice finds, and site. Tell the Archaeologist not to be haters, and get their own machine.

Happy holidays
