Surprise field continues...

[CRUSADER]

Decided to spend another 2.5 hours going slow on the Surprise field in hope for more Saxon stuff. It wasn't to be, but I got 4 hammered (my most in a day this year). Nearly all the targets were in amounst nails, really pleased with the tiny farthing of Ed III 8)

1 Roman Coin
My best Large 17th century Lead/Tin alloy button

Then spent 2.5 hours with Dad in the next field - coin shooting. Managed a 1892 3 Pence & a few coppers.

Nice finds Cru, what's the mint on the farthing ?. Had a nice 17th century button like yours a few weeks ago. As you know they usually come up in fragments.

I'm looking at Spinks, there's no picture of 2660a, but one of 2660, doe's 2660a have a sheild on reverse. The picture of 2660 is rose and Crown obverse, and thistle on crown reverse. I notice yours is a sheild reverse
