Saxon Field - Day 5...Charles I Pipe-Tamper...

[CRUSADER]

Today the sun beat me off the field after only 2 hours 45 minutes. I did manage another hammered - Cut 1/2 of Henry III

2 Jettons
Lead Cloth Seal
Tudor Buckles
Mystery piece - Triangle with a marking in the centre (maybe to do with Medieval scales)

Dad got the best find - 17th C Pipe-Tamper (Charles I & his wife)

Nice finds! You sure do find a lot of bottons in those fields. I found a few in the fields that I detected in Devon and Somerset, with my SE Pro, but not that many. I did find a very nice service button (I believe it is) with a griffin on it which I have yet to post and a few more interesting finds from my holiday.

If its a 1 piece with griffin, its most likely a 19th C Livery Button, I like those.

Bring an XP, next time.

Congrats to Dad for finding a nice relic, I don't think I have ever found a pipe tamper but sure would love to find one, especially something with a neat design or as in your Dad's, historical figures.

Yes I detected in Somerset with Geoff (maker of ChefPhones if you know his)...he also mentioned that it was a livery button. It's a large one and quite nice for us Yanks. I will try and post a scan of it later this evening. I will also post a group shot of my other buttons from England....Thanks for the information.

I just bought a CTX 3030, but didn't bring it as there's no X-1 for it, but I'm interested in getting and XP as well. Looks like a great machine!

That Pipe Tamper is pretty awesome. I'd like to see how they made it back in their day.

If they were not, I may have got bored & given up by now. I always call a good day, one that includes a 'first' of anything, & that is nearly every outing.
