Solo Hunt on nearby farm...

[CRUSADER]

We didn't detect last Monday as my mate was nursing an old back injury, but he should be well enough this Monday.
In the meantime I thought I would cycle to the local farm & see what was available. I was looking to continue a grid on a field I started a few years ago. I've done about 50% of it & luckily it was available.
Its not a site, just a field used for thousands of years, so it has as little bit of everything.
Today I got in 4 hrs;

Nice Pewter Button & a 17th C type.
5 Roman Coins
Lead Token
Part of a Roman 1st C AD Fibula (the catchplate)
Tip of a Bronze Age Axe Head
My Fav find - a circa 14th C Medieval Leather Mount in the shape of a Lion Passant (not had this type before)

Cheers, I may have more time to detect locally as I switch my Summer Lake Fishing to Autumn Detecting.
