New Field - The Digging Team on Fire...

[CRUSADER]

After a recent visit to one of the farmers, they mentioned some new fields we could try. Dad scouted 2 of the fields yesterday for 1.5 hours (finds included in the below picture) & decided on 1 of them. Strangely we both agreed to start gridding in the same area, we had the same idea about where might be good. We did 6 hours (12 man hours) in the relatively warm weather
After Dad's scounting mission & after only about 10 minutes hunting we were both positive that it would be hammered time any second, but it wasn't to be, well not today anyway

Instead it was Saxon City with 2 8th C Strapends, Pin Head & Clothes Fastener (might be our best Saxon day on record)
The Lead was off the scale, as we know, no lead, no finds. (picture 1)
LCV Military Button circa 1810
Victorian Reform Club Button
Jettons - 1 Nice early thick French type with Castle (new one for me)
1 Lead Token
17th C Token
2 Roman Coins
2 Rose Farthings
1 Royal Farthing
William III Love Token (Sixpence)
Bronze Age (circa 2500BC) Spear Tip
Silver Dagger Chape
Plus Bits...

Shaun7 we may need a hand digging all the buttons & Lead next Sat, difficult to carry it all

Its a leather mount (probably belt or maybe horse) which is 17-18th C & still has some leather stuck on the two tangs on the reverse.

WOW - that site's certainly going to be mega-productive. Nice haul of coins and brass. Good luck to you guys when you return. I have a feeling a multi-hammered day is in your not-to-distant future.

Great bunch of finds Cru team!

Just imagining how incredible it woudl be if only your soil was half as hard on the finds as it is
You would be having the British museum in your house!
