Our plan on this windy day was to do one site in the morning & another site after lunch.
We did 3 hours 15 minutes gridding on the Shot Gun Alley site & got 18 Scrappies.
OTWBTTC I deviated from my set course, to jump the ditch & try the next field. When I got to the ditch it was too deep & wide to jump, so I made my way down the edge that I was going to avoid because of all the recent ditch clearing rubbish. Got a loud signal that I assumed was going to be ali & it was the Hammered.
Henry VI Groat, Calais Mint 1422-27 (I only have one Groat of Henry VI but its a London, so I need this one & any Groat is a tough find)
After lunch we crossed the road to do The Trackway Site which is an Early Saxon to Middle Saxon Site. Although it does have a little from most periods, including Roman because of the associated site down the slope.
Had a further 8 Roman Coins.
The other finds for the day (7 hrs in total) were:
Large 17th C Button (type I need)
18th C Navy Button
Royal Farthing
Frag. of a Medieval Pilgrims Ampulla
Frag. of Medieval Casket Key
Roman Pin-Head
Saxon Strap-end
Saxon Wrist Clasp
To get 3 Roman Coins that are pierced in one day is pretty good, as the Archie decribe 1 of them as ''Signficant Historical Interest''.
