My Best Find this Year...Better Picture Added - UPDATE

[CRUSADER]

Went on a lone hunt back to the Barley Stubble Field, hoping for a nice hammered. Only got 2 poor ones, which makes 13 Hammered from this field alone! (only had about 8 goes on it).

Found:
17th Century Tokens
Rose & Royal Farthing
5 Lead Tokens
Silver Thimble
Silver top to a pencil
Bits...

On my last run back finishing on the tyre tracks I was covering the Left track but not the right, however I still managed to hit the edge of a find on the Right track Its made my Year Sorry I can't get a good photo, my hand was shaking. Its a stunning Gold Chip Carved Saxon Mount, with 4 hidden faces. I need some research on this one, its the first I have seen
This period is special to me & this will take pride of place as one of my all time best.

Re: My Best Find this Year...

Great looking finds Cru, love those early coins
Can you please tell me, what is a "night hawk dig"?
Cheers, Dave

Night Hawk = someone on the land without permission
dig by nighthawk = not back-filled & rubbish left by side of hole

How dumb are they to dig the same rubbish every year

Thanks Cru
Dave

Thanks mate, I'm well happy with it. The Gold that is left is far better than any other Saxon mount I have & as you say with the right method it will clean further, for the time being I'm happy to keep it as is 8)
