We only had a short window because my mate was waiting for a call to pick up his boss from hospital.
The flags stayed in the car & I wanted to see how much targets were still about on the Trackway Site.
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of buttons & pieces of lead. We now know where to start gridding on the next visit.
My mate got a landmark find - his first Sceat. I'm very please because that was a tough one to tick off the list.
2hrs 45mins;

Sceat Circa 730AD - Thought to be associated with Ingwald, Bishop of London (Now Recorded as the 24th known example of its type) - NOT MY FIND.
Roman pierced coin
6th C Saxon Brooch
Circa 8th C Saxon Strap-end
Medieval Horse Harness Hanger
Bits...

Excellent result for a wander.

Congrats on the great finds - well done !
 
The copper in the second photo looks like one we might find in Eastern North America on early colonial sites. It would be among our oldest but for you it is fairly modern, I expect, compared to many ancient things you find.

I assume you mean the Charles II Farthing circa 1675, & yes I get you point. We are fortunate.
 
Those are some great finds, well done!
 
that Sceat is awesome!
