2500-1500BC

all

I have been very lucky over the years to find some wonderfull things while detecting recently I found my first Gold coin and a very old one at that

days like these obviously stick in the memory and from time to time I like to reflect on such days

Today I went back to the field that produced the Medieval Gold Stirrup ring last year(still at the BM ) anyway while walking along a ridge, I made another amazing find this time I didn't need the detector :P it was a Tanged and Barbed Flint Arrowhead lying just on the top of the soil, the date range is 2500-1500BC

I also managed a few Medieval Silver coins, one a nice Henry111 here are the pictures

I'm sorry to interupt this thread about SS's fantastic finds, but Oh man! I'm sure glad to know somebody else finds stuff and then loses it, and then rips the house apart trying to find it all over again!!!!

SS,
great set of finds as usual. I really love the arrow head, and I agree with you, when you find something like that you do wonder about the maker and how was it lost. Was it dropped or did the target get away and die later. I know I will get some stick for this next question (pipe tamper et al) but did you id the other hammered?.
Changing the subject a little, but i just can't make it for the rally. I have got my son for the weekend and I can't give that up, I am going to introduce him to metal detecting with an Ace 250 on a previously undetected field (only 3 acres) he is 6 in November and big for his age, but I wish you and the guys all the best. Find the best and make us proud.

hammered

Sorry your not going to Rally, would have liked to meet you

the smaller of the two hammered, is a Elizabeth Half Groat, the battered hammered, I think is a Edward11 penny

For some reason I had always assumed that flint arrowheads were common only to the Continental US....never occurred to me that they would be found in the UK...

Is this common for the UK (or Europe) as well?

Isn't it amazing how the ancients used the same tools (arrowheads) in old Europe as well as the Americas? Most of us are human - so it is not really that suprising is it? We all walk the same types of dirt, rocks, and grass? Congratulations on the wonderful discovery!!!

Yes found in the UK & Europe, scarse find and quite disirable
