No.1 Field - Day 10...

[CRUSADER]

5.5 hrs on the field with Dad helping for the last 1.5hrs

Now we have covered abour 70% of the field & we will need to leave this one (maybe) until after the plough. Because we have plenty of newly harvested Wheat fields to look at (far too many)

2 Lead Tokens
1 Rose Farthing
2 Roman Coins
Some OK Buttons

Rare 17th C Token from Wirksworth, Derbyshire - ELEAZER COATS (Family Arms) (no price in the book but says minimum of £65 for Tokens from Derbyshire without prices) Can't find another example on the web?

One of my best Silver Plated Medieval Buckle, plate & pin

Elizabeth I Halfpenny 1582-1600 only 0.20g

This is with the larger 11" Coil, I love it

I need to retire early & concentrate on the real work (saving stuff from the plough)

Interesting finds today Cru, you fellows did well!
Love the look of this button, shame about the condition eh.
I'd loved to have seen what this buckle looked like when it was complete!

Yeah, nice early button but well bent & not one worth trying to straighten.

I wondered if anyone would pick-up on that buckle guts, its the largest example I have ever seen (18th C). Its 40mm x 35mm & the buckle frame must have been a monster, maybe a shoe buckle to big-foot

As far as I can tell, the James I ones always have a Thistle above the Portcullis

Wasn't sure it was rubbed off The picture doesn't show just how tiny these are, I got one last year

I looked carefully & there is a small scratch close to where it should be but no signs of it being worn off I must be on a mini-hammered-roll

I think we will hit a few Roman Sites soon, try for a Silver
