The Track-Way Site - Day 9...

[CRUSADER]

Finally the recent chilly wind has mostly dried off the surface mud, so a lot less sticky today. Which means we could manage 6 hours gridding.
However, our Silver Streak that started on the 24th Dec 22 has come to an end. Had to happen at some point although we both guessed some silver today, so got that wrong. I guessed 6 scrappies, which was correct.

6 Scrappies - 1 double pierced
Unknown 18th C Pewter Militia Button
Hunts Button
Medieval Buckle
WWI Sherwood Foresters Cap Badge (Think it's my first one)
Lead Token
Blank 17th C Token
2.5 Rose Farthings
2 Leather Mounts
Roman Key Handle (Nice find Cru'dad)
Rare 6th C Saxon Gold Chip Carved Mount (most likely a frag of a Shield Mount)

Cru'dad crunched the Stats & came up with a better answer than my guess;

''By the way info on your longest Silver streaks in 2022 onwards:
16 Apr - 25 Jun - 14 Outings
22 Aug - 21 Oct - 7 Outings
26 Nov - 12 Dec - 6 Outings
24 Dec 22 - 28 Jan 23 - 10 Outings''

Thank you Cru'dad! You are a wealth of information.

The main bit of the key that is nearly always missing is the iron bit. Either broken or if lost whole was rusted away/broken off later by ploughing.

Its a silver plated button, Cru'dad thought he had a hammered for a second...

very awesome example, love that button

A trip through time with every post- fantastic finds! The silver streak will start anew with your next hunt.

Always enjoy the post from the U.K. You fella's live on a treasure trove type of island. I'm envious. And I will say that I've just finished my second time around on the 3 season series, "The Detectorist". Love the theme song. Good finds Crusader. What a day it would be detecting with you fella's.

Love the "Detectorist's"
Great series!

Off topic, but the 2022 Detectorists Christmas special can now be seen in the US on Acorn TV (seven day free trial, or $6/month) and probably on other services. Worth watching if you liked the original three seasons.
