Stubble Trouble 😬

[blossom]

Today we wanted to go to a possible Roman site on our permission.. but it still has stubble on it.. but Himself wants that Roman 😬 .. so we gave it a go! He found a hammered .. no id yet?! Usual buttons, lead bits, and possible Roman bits?? 🤔 We def need to go back to do it properly when there is no stubble 😆 xx

All excellent finds AGAIN. I read somewhere recently that lead was sometimes rolled into a pencil, or stylus if you prefer, to write on slate. Find anything like that?

Hmmm, pencil lead🤔

I can't tell if you have pictured 2 or 3 broken Fibula (Brooches) from the 1st C AD Roman period. Nice indication of an early start to the site.

You have an Edward I Sterling Imitation Penny, read about them & maybe ID it on here;

Sterling imitations and contemporary forgeries

On this website you find a lovely collection of medieval sterling imitations and contemporary forgeries, mainly struck on the continent. Some sterlings are struck in the UK.

(you need most the letter on the Obverse legend to ID it fully, but it will have been produced in France/Low Countries)

We really couldnt do a great job as the stubble was still tough… but at least we got a feel for what could be there x

Way to go. A pretty great day out in my opinion.

Great finds in my book, Blossom. LOL, your thread title reminded me of these old Burma Shave signs at the Charleston, SC Museum.
