The Hill - Day 1

[CRUSADER]

Day 1 on this new land, but my 3rd day in a row detecting. Got to cover many acres on this one, before better options show up.
Never totally gridded this before, so I started on the slow edge with detecting 'runs' taking me 20 minutes per turn-a-round.
Any age could turn up off here, but I'm after Saxon, that will come soon I hope...

Solo hunt by me - 7 hrs.

3 Scrappies
Medieval Buckles
Roman Locking Pin Mechanism
Bronze Age Axe (piece)
Medieval Lead Weight
Medieval Book Clasp
Bits...

Looks like it has some promise. Those spectacle buckles are so cool. Nice finds.

Slow coin day for you, but that top row of buckles is quite nice.

It's only new this year, it's the Hill next to shotgun alley.

Then Saxon will turn up, just a matter of time. Get a Sceat!

Yes he's getting close to a Year without a Banner
Better be Careful he may revert back to Nubie Status

Scrappies added to top.

The Saxon is pre-Sceat period, other than a strap-end I got today (gave a glimmer of hope)

We know that will never happen and Bingo, Viking turns up!

I know Sceattas were later, but it's an area with Saxon populating so the chance is there.
