Tried a couple of new fields...

[CRUSADER]

On my own today for 4 hours.
Tried a couple of new fields which were long stubble & sprayed off (dead grass), it was near impoosible to work & I could only hover 4 inches off the ground. Some places were better than others, but I did luck out a Roman Fibula (got a nice bit of blue enamel on the end, but badly bent) & a late/post Medieval Dagger Guard;

Mine is only similar to this & broken in half.

Moved to a nearby game strip which we had done last year but it was perfectly flat plus the crop had failed.
Got a nice Tudor Button, 1 scrappy Roman Coin & a plain Medieval strapend.

Overall I'm happy enough with my little effort.

That fibula is pretty awesome even just one half.

The fibula is complete other than the pin

Yeap only 1, I was not in a Roman area but 1/2 a mile between 2 sites. Didn't expect any today, both the Fibula & coin were random losses, probably by people travelling between the 2 sites (I might get 5 tomorrow)

I'd love to get an enamelled brooch! Good effort

Good luck today in this heat

I won't enjoy the heat but as I'm leaving later than usual, I'm worried the ground will dry out. I'm going back over a small area we did last year & with out a little extra depth I may get very little. I should get about 5 scrappies, all helps this time of year. I will be looking at the Barley soon for signs of harvesting (fingers crossed)...

These aren't quite the worst but if they were, & the only choice then your right, I would be out there.
