Stubble Field - Day 2...

[CRUSADER]

Spent 4.5 hours continuing the search on the field we started last week. For the first time in weeks we have had a little rain

First run second dig I found an almost complete Saxon Sword Pommel Very rare find & the most complete example I have, only had 1 fragment in the past.

Its similar to the one above & dates to the 6-7th C - 1400 year old Sword piece These would not have just been your usual Saxon person but someone of some standing, middle-high status.

I also got another 2 Hammered, 1 of Lizy & 1 of Henry VIII
17th C Token
17th C Button
Medieval Buckle
Crotal Bell
Bit of Gold 18K
1916 Sixpence
Medieval 'Shell' shaped leather decor
& Bits...

This field is pretty quiet & we covered at least 2 acres, but if we continue this luck across the whole field I will be happy

Well a mini roll, but I'll take it for this time of year, we don't normally have a field like this that has not been hunted & available in May 8)

You regular hunts are banner hunts for most of us. I love the variety of stuff you pull out of the soil.

Most of these are standard, but the Sword piece might take 10 years to repeat

Beautiful Pommel
Two hammereds is twice as nice
18K is a nice bonus!
