I had another job on today & Cru'dad went solo again. He wisely spoke with a land-owner that we thought had sold their land for housing but it hasn't quite gone throw yet, so we have a short window before this field is sold. It's one we have done pretty well on & have helped the Archies when they did their dig. In fact their trenches help bring up some nice Sceat's for us.:thumbsup:
Only the other day we wondered when & want our next great find will be & we didn't need to wait long;

Aethelstan I AD825-40 Penny - 4th Recorded Example of its type (Probably need to change title to EXTREMELY RARE!)- Even bent this is probably about £1000 coin.:hello2:

Other finds include;

Ed I Hammered Penny
Cauldron Foot
Nice Crotal Bell (18th-19th C)
Clothes Fastener (Not sure we have this type, maybe 1, but not as nice)8-)
1 Postumus Roman Coin

So big congrats to Cru'dad for a King we never thought would be in the collection!:headbang:

Banner find, to me all your finds, almost, are banner. Cool stuff, I need a jet plane.
 

Further update;

Cru'dad contacted the land-owner & we are showing the coin this Friday but they have waved their half of the share that we offered them.:thumbsup:

It's now legally ours.

Yes!!!
