Stubble Field - Day 3...UPDATE

[CRUSADER]

Dad & I spent nearly 5 hours continuing our search on the last of the Stubble Fields. I'm naming this one the 'Random' Field, as any period turns up in random places. We have had the odd good & unusual find but they are all spread out & from various periods.

Happy with today's results, especially this time of year:

1620s Rose Farthing
1694 W&M Farthing
Decorated 17th C Button
Tudor Button
Dad wins the smallest ever button award (9mm)
1910-20 Farm Workers Union Pin
Tiny Sterling Silver badge from a Medical Corp?
Small top part of a Roman Fibula
Small bottom section of a Saxon Brooch (bad angle of photo, it the piece under the monkey)
My biggest 13-14th Century Annular Brooch Had many pins but no complete examples, as they get broken by the plough.
A Spanish (or Spanish territory coin?) of 16?? - I need an ID from my Spanish friends? Could I have the full inscriptions for both sides? Very pleased with its general condition, most copper in these fields are eaten up.

So no hammered today but the Spanish Coin (Dad found) & my Brooch makes up for it

We are going to try a different field tomorrow that Dad spotted the other day, we have never tried it (other than I had 1 five minute wander), so we may go for bust

Like the Spanish coin

Have you ever found a monkey before Only that big fat one that nicked my Gold Coin last year & got a button worth over a ton!!!

This turns out to be a coin maybe minted in Maastricht (Netherlands) for the Spanish held territory in Middelburg (Nearest Dutch land mass to the UK), but the combination of reverse die & obv die maybe rare What is strange is as we had the silver & gold standard at the time it would have been as much use as a Jetton (which is maybe why someone kept it). It was definitely an unpopular King to turn up in the UK in that period, as it was only a couple of years before the Armada. Maybe a spy

We don't like monkey winners over here

That explains why Hispan struggles to find them
