Now that most of the Game Strips have been planted & gridded by us, we fell back to our last 2 ploughed field options.
This farmer does what none of our others do & that's leaves 40-50% of his land crop free. The 2 field options we have (1 other is not to be disturbed because of bird nesting) are a little choppy but are workable.
We started gridding on the circa 12 acre (smaller) field by the Village which is ploughed out ridge & furrow. We were not doing that well & Cru'dad got itchy with wanting to try the next field. At first I wasn't happy, I wanted to stick to the gridding until it came good, but I hatched a theory & joined him. I looked at the lay of the land & guessed there may have been an old route to the nearby Church, whether I'm right or not doesn't matter because I fluked out a hammered. Cru'Dad quickly found a Fibula piece, so we up stumps (or in our case flags) & moved fields.
3.5 Hour Hunt;
1 Scrappy
Fibula Catchplate
18th C Pewter Rose Button
Tudor Book Clasp
14th C Medieval Buckle & Plate - Also on the 'Route to the Church'
1547-51 Posthumous Groat of Henry 8, Canterbury Mint - Henry 8 is a Rare Hammered find for us, shame its lightly struck & worn. But can't have it all. (debased)
