Rare silver from field

[Aquila]

My yesterdays findings from same field area than earlier. This time I was lucky, found rare silver Swedish 2 öre (used 1570-1590). Condition is not very good but this was my first silver coin this year 8). Lots of musketballs and I found my buckle that I dropped earlier . Here is photo of it. Some other coins: Öre 1666, 1/4 öre from 1630-60 and 1/12 skilling 1802. These are all swedish coppers.

Its at least 500 years old, I will now have a look in my books. Its a real good one, not a type I have had, only a little similar.

Thanks . And I almost lost it....

I think this is a very special buckle. Its not in any of my books which is why I'm struggling to ID it. My gut says its 10th Century but it maybe Medieval (13-14th C). This needs further research, not recorded on any of the UK databases that I can tell.

I think its Viking & horse related

PS. turn it point down & you can see the Beast head with ears, eyes & nose - classic Saxon/Viking imagery

Some really cool stuff. I like those early finds.

 

[Rickiowa2009]

You guys found some really great finds!

 

[CRUSADER]

I emailed an expert friend (specially in Saxon/Viking) & he agrees the buckle looks Viking similar to Finish examples from the excavations at Luristari and also from the Southern Baltic

 

[Silver Searcher]

The Buckle is Zoomorphic, so fits in the Anglo Saxon/Viking period, a bit similar to this one Great find, I'd rather have that than the Silver coin
