Sewage Site - Day 17 + Potato Field Day 11 - 4 Hammered...

[CRUSADER]

Managed to get out for just over 4 hours with only being rained on once...
Started as usual on The Potato Field for Cru'dad's Birthday (not today but this week) Hunt & he got the first hammered on his 2nd dig, whilst on our way to the grid spot. Normally the kiss of death, but today the kiss of life, as I got a further 3 hammered.

The Potato Field (3 hours):

17th C Halfpenny Token
Jetton
Spur bit
Bit of a Tudor Dagger Chape
1/2 Spec Buckle
Saxon Stirrup Terminal (we hoped for this as we have had 1 mount & 1 terminal from that area, & now we have the full set. I thought the whole stirrup must of busted off & got lost)
14th C Medieval Seal Matrix - Has a curled up mouse, inscription reads - WAROMEI TOMON (Strange name)
4 Hammered:
1/2 Reale of Ferdinand and Isabella, c.1469-1502
Edward I Penny
Henry VI Halfpenny
Charles I Penny

Sewage Site (1 hr 15 mins):

3 Tudor Buttons
Broken Medieval Buckle
18th C Pastry Jigger
17th C Belt Mount

Spanish silver. Nothing you can get every day. Must been a while.... Congrats!
Weird thing is, if you get a spanish silver it's most likely a F&I coin. Outstanding day with four hammereds and the seal!

Love to see the medieval seal matrix restored....and used again.

Cru' would love to see the medieval seal matrix restored....have you restored any? It would be cool to use it again...always look forward to seeing what you have unearthed

I have a general rule of never restoring anything I find, other than straightening the odd Georgian Silver Spoon or straighten the odd gold/silver coin. So no, I haven't messed with any, although with proper wax it would work OK as it is.

It was a great day of digging getting 4 silvers and the seal, congrats.

You will, just find the right ploughed field & make sure you GRID & not wander.
I'm trying to spread my new catch phrase:
''GRID ON BABY''
