Hill Spring Site - Finished OK...

[CRUSADER]

We spent just less than 6 hours gridding the best area of the hill.
Not lots of finds but I'm pleased with the final result.

9 Roman Coins
2 Neolithic Flints
Tudor Buckle
Roman Leather Mount
Roman Bracelet Frag.
Broken Tudor Clothes Fastener
Hammered - James I Halfgroat 1610
Saxon Small-Long Brooch 6th C AD - We were hoping for a complete one
A circa 15th C Bronze Lombardic A - I've seen single letter Pilgrim Badges but they are lead-alloy. The letter being the initial of a Saint. It also has no visible attachments on the reverse. I'm not sure what it is, but its a cool find in my books.

Well, yours is the first bronze (or is it?) version I have seen, so they did do them & yours has the fixing holes. Now we need to think which Shrine produced? A Saint beginning with A, I can think of 2 options.

As for date, its clearly medieval but a little harder to narrow down than mine. Maybe 14th C.

Most likely we will never be able to attribute either of them, although new things are being uncovered all the time . This is what is so facinating about out Hobby. Hutch.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

This might be our best post for awhile, at least until after harvest. (Aug/Sep)
