Saxon Field - Day 3...

[CRUSADER]

Another glorious day with even less layers needed (5 hour hunt)
Today we got something we hoped for & only ever target 1 a year to achieve - Saxon Sceat Circa 700 AD I also got a perfect circa 8th-9th C Clothes Fastener with a still sharp hook, plus Dad got the base of a 6th C Cruciform Brooch & I got the middle section of one Another stunning day for Saxon Nearly our yearly total in 3 outings.

Dad found our most complete example of a Elizabethan (1550-1600) Sword Belt Hanger

Others finds included:
1 Roman Coin
Hammered Stirling Imitation of Ed I (plus a broken fragment)
Some Jettons
Livery Buttons
17th C Halfpenny Token
Lead Token
Rose farthing
Ancient piece of Bronze Ring

Waited for Your post Cru... Another outstanding hunt! The sceat is a beauty, hammered is always nice, the sword hanger from a plowed field and neolithic flint. Very old ground....

 

[umrgolf]

Another successful hunt in the books. You amaze me the way you come back with a pile of relics every time out. That's a combination of great sites and hard hunting. Congrats again!

Is the sceat silver? If so it should clean up better, don't you think, even as it is, should be BANNER!!!!

What is the other piece of silver next to the hammered?

What a great field, 20 + coins in one outing, plus all the great relics, when can I go? Do you have more fields untouched like that one?
Congrats on a fantastic research and great grid ding!

Cheers

Yes solid silver, but leaving as is.

Its a broken hammered Sixpence

It's not untouched, but the competition needs a lesson
