Time Line

[robfinds]

A very small field produced these finds late this afternoon. None of the finds valuable money wise, but a great time line showing the use of the field stretching back for century after century. Coins from the Roman, Medieval, Cromwell, late 17th century and late 18th century periods. Also a medieval buckle, and a nice small 17th century buckle. This is what's great about detecting in England the shear amount of metalwork from all periods that's laying in the soil.

England is a small place, there can't be one inch of land that as not seen some kind of human activity throughout the ages.

You guys in England sure find some old stuff. It's not fair. We here from across the pond can only droll at the prospects of early Saxon hoards, Roman coins etc. Don't get me wrong I sure enjoy your posts and am a student of history, not just mine but I can't wait until someone from Egypt or Iraq (Babylonia or ancient Etruscans) starts posting the ancient Dinar coins so you can see the analogy here. Keep posting them my friends and remember when the day arrives. You will know how I feel. In the mean time I look forward to finding coins that are a mere 210 years old on average and dreaming of posting on the first metal detecting forum that starts on the continent of Antarctica. I'm sure 210 year old coins would sure seem great. This same reality i'm sure goes for East coast coins vs. West coast coins so maybe...............Never mind everyone

Hello shaun, it's a medieval leather chape.

 

[robfinds]

That is a neat timeline.

Throw in a seedy attorney and a timelien might also be possible.

What is the well worn silver coin on the left?

Hello plebah the worn coin is a Commonwealth half groat 1649-60.
