New field didn't dissapoint!!

Hello all,

I tried a new farm today in an area i know is very old!

Didn't get off to a very good start as i wound up on the wrong field and got thrown off by an irate tractor driver

Once i got on the correct field i started finding stuff straight away! I must have started in the right place as the finds were confined to a small corner of a large field!

I need some help with i'ds on a few bits as i wasn't with Cru at the time and i'm stumped as to age and that $:-\$

The hammered coin is a Henry 111 penny, i know that

Heres my stuff!

Looks like the makings of a good field shaun :thumbsup:

there's a few old lead weights I see, and something in the last picture at the top :icon_scratch:

looks like it had a pin or something attached :icon_scratch:

a nice lead seal there also :thumbsup:

Good Finds,

SS.

The key thing, looks like a Lozenge shaped Casket Key top, the Buckle looks Post Medieval,

you will have to clean Bugs bunnies ears a bit and let me have another look

I've straightened it a bit! I don't mind it looking like that at over 600 years

It's my first local hammered and my biggest!

Nice one Shaun good hammered. The long thing with the loop on it "could" be a key. Show us a better picture of it. :icon_thumright:

Does look like a key shaun, latch or barrel lock key. The hammered was good but this beats it for me. :notworthy:

looks like it's a Medieval barrel lock key Shaun. they had a long period of use from about 10th-13th century, give or take a century. A very nice find, google medieval barrel lock key and see if you can get some definate info. Best find i've seen you post, keep up the good work. :icon_thumright:
