Flatten Silver Thimble
Medieval Beehive Thimble

Another Medieval Casket Key
Coin Weight
2 18th C Cufflinks
2 18th C Clog Clasps

Been looking for a whole Shortcross off this field for quite awhile & I'm pleased its a more unusual mint

I've now had 11 hammered in the last 4 days off this land

Nice to get a H3 shorty instead of the normal long cross :icon_thumleft:

the Beehive is a very good example. Another good day...my back went $:-\$

Cheers, its one of my fav series, but they are fairly scarce in our area. (although had a few cut ones this year)

"casket Key" now that sound pretty darn cool. as well the other finds in that picture.

That's quite a site you got there with 17 days worth of swinging, and still goin...

Like them old silvers too.

Eleven hammered silver is incredibly AMAZING

no one comes close to your fantastic numbers of button recoveries :headbang:

Field hunting is very difficult , as you well know , all that plowed up dirt makes for sore feet :P Well Done CRU! :icon_sunny:

Thanks most fields in our area are ankle breakers, due to the heavy clay. But this sandy soil is the only land we can do after a deep plough without rolling, as it falls off the plough nice & flat(ish). Shaun7 after 5 hours said it was like walking on a beach & his legs hurt, I guess I hurt so much, I can't tell the difference :laughing9:
