Railway Hill - Day 4.......

[CRUSADER]

Searched 6 hours with Shaun7 today who was on fire, more later.

When I got home, Dad had arrived back & call me up. I said we need to get back out there & even the score with Shaun7. We did a further 3 hours, so 12 man hours effort (not including Shaun7's 6 hours).

I got a broken Saxon Mount
Dad got a Norman period strap junction, broken.
14th Century Buckle
2 Tudor buttons
2 18th C Buttons
The only silver coin I could get was a modern Shilling.

My star find was a lovely 1580-1600 German Jetton - twice the standard thickness & better than the book example One of my best ever jettons.

Wow nice Jetton Cru! And the amounts of buttons sure helps the totals!
The mount was a nice find also, you are getting more mounts now...
What is the thing above the two musket balls? The sort of thin metal
object with the neat side view of a persons head.... Looks very good
but is not a coin I think....(?)

You got some other neat finds too, good search, although Shaun shadowed
you guys!

Its a great jetton for the field conditions. Nice & thick & probably bronze.

The lead thing is the top half of a cloth seal of William III.

no, its 5th picture bottom right, hard to make out as its badly damaged, but having seen a whole one I can picture it better in my mind.

The object you have is a Georgian drawer pull, looks older than it is. Seen it sold as Medieval ....
