Saxon Field - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

Another nice warm sunny day for a 5.5 hour hunt on the new land we started last Sunday. We are calling this one the Saxon Field as we had 4 Saxon items in 1 day (Rare), today was different with only 1 small broken Saxon Strapend. Although Land-Mag joined us for 40 minutes & scouted out the top end of the field with great success, finding an end of a Saxon Cruciform Brooch & a decent Roman Coin. (so 6 Saxon period pieces in 2 outings)

Last week we were sure we would hit a Hammered at anytime. Today it happened with a James I Halfgroat (circa 1603-19) found by both Dad & I I also got a poor condition Celtic Bronze Coin (2000 years old). That now means in 2 trips we have covered every period in British History:
Neolithic
Bronze Age
Iron Age
Roman
Saxon
Medieval
Post Medieval
Georgian
Modern
This is an unusual thing to happen & it makes it more exciting, as we have no clue what might pop up next

The other finds were:
Nice Buckle (Tudor)
Royal Farthing
Rose Farthing
1799 Halfpenny
Georgian Pan Weight (Trade weight)
Beehive Medieval Thimble
Medieval Pin Head
Part of a Medieval Purse Bar
Lead Cloth Seals
Nice Tudor Clothes Fastener with a still sharp hook - nice to get a complete one for a change

& a few buttons

Cru, I swear that I have only been a member a very short time and I'll say that I can't remember a week that you have NOT posted pics of some awesome hunt...lol. You must be retired I'm almost there, and honestly hope that I too can post as often as you do after retirement cause that'll mean that I am out enjoying the hunt...

I'm in a full time job & still get out 550-600 hours a year, but I don't have holidays in the sun wasting money laying around
