Struggling to find stuff on New Land with Shaun7...

[CRUSADER]

Firstly thanks for the lift from Shaun7, better late than never
Cru'dad was away & Shaun7 picked up the baton, but it was hard work on this new land, with only 4.5 hours & hundreds of acres to look at :P

My start was a little too good with a cut hammered of King John (circa 1200) after 40 mins. Found it whilst cutting across a field at pace to get to a potential area. We gridded with not much else to show, so carried on.

Only other finds of note were:

Rose Farthing (1620s)
Tudor Buckle
Broken 17th C Buckle
18th C Clog Clasp
2 Broken Crotal Bells

Shaun7 had the find of the day

I always thought that those were double buckles 16th century.
You had a good day for these dates!

16th C is Tudor, these spanned several hundred years (double-looped or spectacle buckles)

Broken 17th C Spur Buckle is below

Looks like You two had a good day! I like the range of finds in Your fields.
Where did the unfired cal. .50 rounds came from? Do You have crash sites in You area? I we hit one we have to leave. so littered with aluminum that You cannot make one single swing without hitting a signal...

These WWII 50cal were mostly dropped out of aircraft before landing.

We do have some crash sites, but this is no-where near one.

Easy way to reduce weight when short on fuel.... Be careful when playing with the blue and silver tips! Better wear sunglasses!

Also, if your coming in hard, you don't want explosives aboard, or when your on fire.
