The Rain is Here - 3 SILVERS...

[CRUSADER]

After nearly 50 days of no rain to speak of, it rained pretty good yesterday & rained most of the 5.5 hrs we detected to day. Much nicer detecting conditions.
The first picture is Cru'dads 3 small scrappies on a scouting mission to a site that is currently Wheat Stubble. (1.5 hours)

Today we returned to the field where the 2 Roman Silvers came from, but before we started on that we gave a new field nearby a try. Although it wasn't that great, I did get a silver sixpence after only a short 1 hour 15 min hunt.
We wanted to work out whether we had another Roman Site, but after hours (4 hrs 15 mins) of gridding & exploring, the only conclusion we could come up with was that the few scattered coins over a large distance were associated with a long gone track-way.

Broken Crotal Bell
2 Roman Coins - Ses. of Ant Pius, & Tetricus I Ant.
Broken Medieval Thimble
Broken Medieval Buckle
Large early 13th C Horse Harness Pendant with flower design. (new type for us, & 1 of the earliest types produced)
1697 Sixpence - Better than average condition for these ground found ones.
1567 Sixpence Lizzy I
Ed I Hammered Penny

Never one to disappoint, Cru..congrats on those 3 silvers...stunning. Just remember, most of your finds on an "off" day would be banner finds over here. Thx for sharing, Ddf.

It was a surprisingly tough field to work out & we had hours of nothing. There was a mixture of a bit of luck & some good field craft that saved the day.

Nice sixpence Cru, good to see a larger hammered come out of the field still round and flat.

No drought conditions as such because of the high water levels & deep water reserves at the beginning. It has however been the longest heat wave on record & the worst I have ever experienced. HATED IT.

Congrats on your silvers Cru, but what I really like is the early 13th C Horse Harness Pendant with flower design!
Here's one I found last year on a farm in Pickering, ON although mine is probably only mid-19thc.

These square plates are interesting, love to now what you think they might be?

Hope you and your Dad are both well,
Dave
