I wasn't out for some weeks because of all fields planted. This week a farmer mowed down a hayfield and plowed it for seeding corn. This morning he rolled the anklebreaker flat and i had a couple hours for detecting. Tomorrow the seed will be in.
It's not a special field, just laying in the middle of an agricultural area used since the day when hunter-gatherers become farmer. I was impressed with the unexpected finds in this field.
Find of the day is without doubt the eyeballed adze. Dating into Neolithic it is somewhere between 5000 and 7000 years old. Two roman scrappies, a bracelet frag and a roman whatsit suprised me too. Other finds are some buttons, coins, nice complete medieval buckle, lead with a musket ball carved into a cross(?).
