Scouting Mission......

[CRUSADER]

I sent the scout out alone today......or was it something to do with mixing cider & ale... (don't do this at home kids)

Cru'dad has been doing his rounds recently & found out an unsearched field was available. It was on the radar but a long way off the top hit list. It showed up nothing on our research but it was on the opposite side of a road to a Medieval moated Manor site. So in these periods of little choice, it was worth a go....

He didn't get much in 2 hours but the report was a follows;
Sandy soil - good news in this area
No Lead - very bad news for any sort of site
2 bits of Roman or Medieval Pot Shards - little hard to tell without the rims - not enough to spark interest
1 Bronze pot rim - circa 17th C
Georgian Furniture Pull
2 Buttons
Common Ed I London Mint Hammered - but in better than average condition.

The hammered was found after 50 minutes & made the scouting worthwhile.

If we didn't have spare time we would put this back on the back burner, but with little else, I will be XPing it soon....

Cru dad probably came back to find you snoozing on the sofa!

So you send Ol' Da out to find places to hunt......LOL At least sending out an experienced scout has it's benefits.

A surprise find is never where you expect it to be ! That is a nice looking Ed I. Good luck gridding ! MaineRelic

Guinness and lager, not a good idea either Cru.

I do know better really, just met some friends I hadn't seen in many years & got carried away. It took me most the day to get rid of the headacre, so I didn't think constant beeping would help.

I look forward to trying this field even if the signs were not that great. I like the challege of the unknown, I hope to get at least something....
