Slowing of Pace.........UPDATED ID....

[CRUSADER]

All good runs come to an end at some point. We finished the field we have been having a great time in. Good news is with our GPS plots its clear to see a band of coins across the field. Which we will target when harvest is done.

1 Scrappy
1924 Silver Sixpence
Part of a Medieval Swivel
Ancient (Roman?) bronze Bead.

See next post for the last field that we can search..........

Re: Slowing of Pace.........

This is the last field with backfilled trenches. This field has produced very little in the past, so we were not expecting much. Only need to do 3 more trenches & the job is complete.

Then we will wait for the barley to be taken in, problem is the forecast rain is going to delay it

4 Scrappies although one is a rarish Quinarius of Allectus AD293-96 with Galley Boat.
2 Lead Tokens
17th Century token, still to be IDed, but one I need.
Nice Tudor Rose Belt mount

Nice finds. I wish I could slow my pace to match this post.

Had the archies not opened up this new land for you, you would have been sitting at home thinking about finding something.

Can't wait for the harvest. I think we will see some great finds from this field.

Good Luck
Randy

Re: Slowing of Pace.........

a lead token with an anchor on it? is that unusual, or is it not a lead token

It is fairly unusual, I think I have one other.

This Field will make our year, in fact it already has, so everything else is a bonus. Good thing we know where to hit it, as its a very large field & you could easily miss the thin band of coins & relics. I believe it follows the route of a Roman side track which links the farm to the nearby Roman Road. The exciting thing is I suspect it continues into the next field which we haven't tried yet but has some very clear crop marks on the aerial photos.

UPDATE:
Took a bit of effort but just IDed the Token:

Made by Robert Ives in Whittlesey in 1667, with a picture of a Woolcomb. So he was a woolcomber, whatever that was Someone who de-matted raw wool I guess, ready for spinning.

looks like a wall combe to me, maybe he was a plasterer

that lead token is pretty cool. GPS plottign finds is pretty neat, I've did it at a few hunts I've been to!

What GPS machine do you use? are they expensive?

(not expensive, in itself £65)
We went for a basic model but very realiable - Garmin are a good make, the eTrex is what we use. You could buy software to map your finds straight onto an OS map, however its 3 times the cost of the handset. So Dad plots them himself, but I'll warn you this is very time consuming. It basically meaning walking the whole edge of the field, plotting all major trees & entrances etc... Then plotting these on a huge spreadsheet & then plotting each find onto it. So I would suggest investing in the software (Dad just likes hard work ).

How does it work do you just push a button where you find some thing?

As stated, we do it the hard way. ie just look at the reading on one of the setting. You would need to do more with the software, ie. press buttons & type in your code for the find.
