Smallest hammered, best Rose farthing and weirdest buckle

[hammered]

I only had about an hour and a half to go detecting today, so I headed to my "fave" field. It's still stubble at the mo' and all the weed seeds are germinating, so it's getting a bit over grown, but the field is 5 mins away and time was short. The hammered was actually lying in the chaff and I kept moving it around thinking I was getting some kind of falsing signal, but the trusty Garrett Pro pointer did it's work and I was soon enough holding my smallest hammered in my grubby hands . The Rose farthing is a fairly common find for around here, but this is the best one I have found . The buckle was a bit of a mystery at first, it came out of the soil very clean, in fact none of the finds have been "cleaned" other than a rinse under the tap, and I thought it was damaged. But when I got home I looked up UKDFD and there it was, a Double Loop Rectangular 'Locking' Buckle circa 1350- 1450, like this one http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=27063&cat=192 . I wish I could have spent longer over there today but I couldn't. I think I'll go back tomorrow and hit the Saxon side of the field and see what comes up . Anyway, on with the pics.


A small motorbike badge, sadly broken in half (not by me). The two parts were lying about 18" apart


Other side


I don't know what this is, but it is patterned


Rose farthing, obverse

The hammered, a Bessy 1 Portcullis Halpenny. It does look the same as the James 1st one tho'

All the stuff together, minus some big bits of lead.


Thanks for looking, take care out there

James I only have a thistle above, so as you say, its a Lizzy Had a couple this year with the big coil

The pattern thing looks like the side piece to a cap gun handle.

The locking buckle is very nice, never had a complete one

 

[Westfront]

What a condition.....looks almost unused. How small is such a farthing? And the buckle...never seen before. Unbelievable that it was not killed fron the plough!

 

[Nutriasub]

Looking forward to hearing more info on the buckle!

Yes Westfront, the condition is like new, don't know how but I'm grateful

fantastis 1,5 hours, unveliable quality finds

Hi Nutriasub, how are you?. Yes it was a good 1.5 hours, hopefully a bit more tomorrow . The buckle is the same as http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showrecords.php?product=27063&cat=192 I will record mine tomorrow if I have time

James, That buckle is the best of the lot mate,actually the best of any lot!!!GodBless HH Chris

Thanks worldtalker, but to you my name is Ian, it's OK, Crusader doesn't post with his fingers unfortunately. He is one of the brainiest people I know. Trouble is he types too fast and all the time he is catorgorising his Saxon finds, spelling and such come second. But I will always default to him and SS. When he put James I, it wasn't my name, but a reference to what the coin wasn't. My fault really.

Some nice finds! Your right Weird Buckle but a keeper for sure. HH

Damn straight, it's a goodun

Hi Colin, that Rose came out of the ground "perfick", you should see it. I didn't even need my glasses to see how good it was . Thanks mate

I have to say the buckle was my fave, that is til I found the Rose farthing. But all of the finds were in such good condition I might go back there tomorrow

Great Finds!!!

You never can tell on some of my fields, you think you might find Saxon, then you find Roman. You think you might find medieval and you find Victorian. Thats why I love this hobby, all I ask is that I can id what I find . Take care mate, and happy hunting
