Saturday’s Finds 😎 xx

Finally back out in the fields yesterday … They have now been planted with Maize so are beautifully flat and with the sunshine it felt like the best place in the world!

First off this amazing complete casket key… thinking it is a zoomorphic end rather than just broken? Then a buckle, thimbles, watch winder musket balls, pot leg, buckle bits, button, tack pin, crotal bells, more buttons, Jettons/ tokens, Victoria penny, Roman Coin, cut hammered and an Elizabeth 1st hammered and of course our beautiful fields!

We have this week off, so spent the afternoon today getting finds catalogued ready for our trip to the museum on Wednesday 😆 and if the weather holds will be out digging every day! Life is good xx

It just dawned on me why you get all the stuff. Saturday's come earlier over on that side of the pond and you beat everyone here to it!

cool key. Is it late Roman or medieval era? I like the coins too. Always enjoy seeing your digs!

Very nice finds, makes you wonder why a casket key would be found in a field.

Awesome finds as usual!!

Very nice finds, makes you wonder why a casket key would be found in a field.

Medieval casket keys were not used for burial "caskets" as we know them, they were used to lock personal boxes,, reliquaries, or small high-value items chests, etc., sorta like a modern safety deposit boxes that you would keep at home or your workplace.
