Epic Sunday in a new field! 😍 xx

[blossom]

My goodness what a day we have had, new field…, new level of finds !

first off himself found this amazing little bust, I see a head shoulders with hair on the back… 😍 then this lead “bobbin” it weighs 218g, a gorgeous little “fish” brooch, a livery button with initials on it, part of a fibula brooch (?) a strap end, 2 muskets, because every field has em, 2 pot mends, a fork and bit of a cup (?) 2 lead weights, bit of a crotal bell and a patterned curved bit, more buttons 2 pre dec coins and 2 scrappy Romans!

Absolutely perfect day, weather was kind, digging was easy and finds were everywhere! xx

And scenery too.

What a productive time you had today.
I'm wondering if himself's head is a tad swollen finding the bust?
Cause mine would be also, certainly a wonderful piece.
Cool button with the 3 initials also.
So I would assume this field will be a return site.
Congrats to you both.

NICE!
I must admit I'm a little jealous...

Another great outing for you two. Great finds and beautiful pictures also! Thanks for sharing... again!

Ha! Yes Himself was pretty smug.. especially as he has found very little on our previous outings 😆 bless him… i think it could be a Roman Steel Yard weight… but not sure🤔 xx yes hopefully we will get out on Tuesday and Thursday and explore some more 😆 xx

I was just gonna ask what your thgs were on the bust. Awesome day with some early history. What do you date that site to?

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Great finds !
Could you do us a favor stop posting all these horrible, out of focus photo's of your finds !

 

[tamrock]

That's some oldie looking stuff. You sure find such interesting items over there.

 

[scruggs]

What can you say but WOW! Your finds just keep getting better on every hunt and the pictures are OUTSTANDING!!

 

[WannaDig3687]

Now, Blossom, you have to let himself find the best every now and again. It’s part of the plan, if you know what I mean. Lol!

Great job to you both!

Very Cool!!! Congrats!!!

So I think the Big Bobbin its a Roman 'cotton reel' trade weight. 218g is almost spot on for a Bessis which was 2/3 of a Roman pound, ( 8 Roman ounces = 219.3g ) apparently!!! 😆 xx

 

[blossom]

Update on the Button… it seems to be Dumfriesshire Fox Hounds.. 🤔 we are a long way from Scotland 😆 xx

 

[blossom]

Another possible id for the little fish 🤔 circa 1500-1650 😆 i think this field is going to keep us busy for a while 😆 xx

 

[ajaj]

Nice finds! I must admit I like the fork giving the finger!

😂 ha!! wasnt sure if that one would get past the Mods 😅

The Roman Bust can only be 2 things; a mount or if there is a slot in the base, part of a spatula. Can't remember the Roman name for it but basically like a Knife Terminal.

Picture 9 on the slate, left hand piece. Is the top section to a 6th C AD Saxon Girdle Hanger. Scarce find.

I think that Fork is giving me the finger....
