Only 4 hours on an area of failed oilseed rape - probably our best day for years!

1844 Silver 4Pence
72nd Reg Of Foot - Victorian Military Button
My first Saxon Girdle Hanger (in bits)
Broken Saxon Buckle
1.5 Saxon Wrist Clasps
2 Saxon Disc Brooch
6 Saxon Small-Long Brooches
Part of a Saxon Gold Chip Carved Brooch - if complete it's a £6000 find!
A massive Saxon Brooch - should have heard Dad when he dug it!

What a day of mostly 6th C AD finds - the hardest period to get!

I know, after the great coin yesterday, I was actually only planning to help a friend dig some aircraft bits (Mosquito). However, he had a heavy night & wanted rest, so when we went hunting in a massive field, we gave up & I sniffed out this area. The field is so big, without the narrowed search area (ie. the failed crop) we would have missed it. Luck was with us!!!
 

Of all the really cool stuff you and your Dad dig up ,the Roman relics right up to modern day junk, these Saxon finds are by far the most beautiful and interesting yet!
Continued success on that site, I'm sure you'll finding more great finds there in the future

Yes, the Saxon & Viking are my fav periods!

Wow, that is beyond cool, congratulations!
 

Awesome finds! Almost looks like you might have found an unknown Saxon graveyard. Congrats and HH, Mike
 

What a great day of digging Saxon relics just one would make for a great hunt, but this is a day for remembering for sure!
 

Amazing finds...the carving on the gold brooch looks futuristic...even today! That large brooch is amazing and in amazing condition to boot!
