The Track-way Site - Day 5 - 2 SCEATS...

[CRUSADER]

Pretty warm day really, which meant the mud was as sticky as every. We did our normal gridding exercise for 5 hours. Little did we know that this previously dead area would turn up some of our best finds so far. Last time Cru'dad battered me with all the best finds, this time the XP hit back getting all the notable finds leaving Cru'dad with the cartwheel, hook & some buttons.
2 sceats in a day is a rare thing & to put it into context we have had 2 previous years with zero sceats. This year is now our record year at 6!
