Same Field - Different Result!

[CRUSADER]

Went back to where I had 11 Roman Coins in 2 hours, this time with Dads help & more time I was predicting 15, & Dad said 5. He was way closer with just 3 in 7.5 man hours Seems my homing into that little cluster in the middle of the field was a little uncanny.

I'm not disappointed though

Dad got the hammered & although the bust is worn its a fairly scarce coin & our first Bury St Edmund Mint (I think) of Edward I circa 1280s.

Small Medieval Buckle & Pin
Top of a Medieval Ring (missing stone)
Tudor Belt decors
2 Lead Tokens
Frag. of Tudor Clothes Fastener


Find of the day by me is the bottom section of an Anglo-Saxon 6th C Brooch, masked face, never had this type I hope I find more of it

Yes, it could be the side/s &/or the base, haven't seen an exact match yet. Just happy its 6th C & Saxon (Brooch Frag.)

Chances are you won't find a exact match , unless you find one from the same maker, but still a nice fragment of 6thc Brooch

This is the closest one I have seen

Sorry, didn't explain very well. (your right, I'm unlikely to get a precise match) I really meant whether it was more likely the bottom or one of the side arms. So far looking at the PAS & a couple of books, its looking more likely a bottom piece, specially if you see the reverse

The brooch is outstanding!
