''The Hill'' - Day 2 - Hammered + Neolithic Flint Arrowhead!

[CRUSADER]

We were both a little puzzled today as we struggled to dig many good targets yet we had just carried on from where we left off. I only got the hammered by doing extra long runs whilst I waited for Cru'dad to catch up! Not complaining about the result just not as we would have thought (after a 5 hammered outing).
5 Hours gridding;

4 Scrappies (1 holed)
Lead Token
18th C Pewter Navy Button
17th C Seal-top Spoon, not sure why its ring shaped, can't be the plough.
18th Pastry Jigger Wheel
14th C Medieval Buckle & half a Swivel
1st C AD Roman Fibula (Brooch)
2 Broken Tudor Strap-ends
Medieval Beast Head Leather Mount
Maybe a mis-cast Bronze Age Spear Tip
Blank silver round thingy
Lizzy Hammered Halfgroat 1567-70
Neolithic Flint Arrowhead - Found by me OTWBTTC. I've been keeping my eye out for scrappers since we started on the Unnamed Roman Site, saw load of wasters, so was very happy to final luck this one out. I can count these finds on 1 hand!

The flints are great finds....my wife found one on a beach walk when over there...not sure if it was a waster or not...

Maybe not what You expected but still an ok day! The arrowhead alone makes it well worth the walking. Tough to find on fields with lots of flint and gravel. And still silver in the pouch! That silver disc looks almost like a planchet for a Denarius.

Super fun finds, congrats!

Way to go Cru! Your finds never cease to amaze. It's interesting that metal detectorists develop a trained eye and spot things others don't or choose to ignore.

Yeap, took me years to get my eye into flints, now they jump out without effort.
