MIXED BAG OF RELICS, COINS etc....

[CRUSADER]

Decided after our success yesterday we would explore the bottom half of the field.

As the field has been drilled (planted) we only have this weekend until it sprouts & then its a no go.

When exploring a large ploughed field we use what I call 'leap frog' searching. That is we do a 8 run grid search, then miss 5 runs (leap frog over) & do another 8 run grid until we have covered the width of the field. Good way to find which places are worth doing in the future, whilst cover lots of land semi-systematically.

So having done this system to the top of the field & the bottom (no time for middle yet), we have narrow down the productive area which we will hit tomorrow.

Everything I seemed to find today was broken by the plough, including a Roman Silver Denarius.

Dad had the other 2 bits of silver, a Georgian hallmarked piece & William III sixpence no date (but 1690s)

2 Roman coins good enough for the album.

Good mix of buttons:
Lead medieval
Early 19th century Naval button
Pair of Livery type - 1 found by me & one by dad 50 meters apart.

Broken buckles & buckle plate

Is that Roman wilver chipping away? I heard some do that at times.

 

[Ridley]

As usual. Stunning finds!

Now the clock is ticking. That kind of adds some drama to the search.

HH tomorrow and congratulations!

The stuff you pull out of those fields is outstanding! To have that degree of history is a detectorists dream! Keep at it!

 

[SukiSal]

Well done, that's a good days detecting crusader

 

[birdman]

That Roman Silver Denarius is no good any more ,I guess you will have to send it this way. LOL as always very historical digs.

 

[piggman1]

Really SUPER finds!

 

[BioProfessor]

I was surprised to find out why there were so many thimbles in the fields. Make sense they would use them to work the crops but I just never thought about it.

Great finds. I gotta move to the UK.

Yeap, some would use them under gloves, so they wouldn't fall off. I know what its like to have straw stuck between my nail & it makes loads of sense

 

[RON (PA)]

Great finds and Pics, Crusader. Keep it up. I need to detect the UK one of these days.

 

[skierbob]

ditto. I have to get over there for some of those thrilling finds. HH
