Dad & I went looking for any grassland that might be available. We got lucky, as a small area of our 2nd Fav Field which the farmer had turned to grass/hay was available. We were very disappointed he had done this to a 3 acre strip as it meant no more ploughing up of good finds. However, today we were glad he did it, as in June we have nothing, & this recently cut hay, which he cut early & green for silage, was perfect hunting ground!

Only cover 1/4 of the area & got the following:

Livery Button
Lead Pilgrims Ampulla from the Holy Shrine of Walsingham - Excellent find :icon_thumright:
Our first Medieval Dagger Quillion
Medieval dagger chape with blade still in it!
Medieval casket Key
4 Scrappies
Early Jetton
3 Lead Tokens
3 Rose Farthings (1620s)

One of the best Medieval Seal Matrix I have ever found :icon_thumright: I have had 3 excellent examples this year & all different types, the other two were; Lead oval type, & Bronze 'chess' type.
This one is complete with loop on the reverse :headbang:

Guess where we will be tomorrow :laughing7:

My guess would be the game strips with the newbie. ::)

Very nice hunt. Glad you could find some land in this lul with all the crops. :thumbsup:

No my 2nd Fav Field is not on the newbie land. I've done this one for 10 years+.

I was suppose to be with the newbie tomorrow, but will explain that I need to be on this field before the hay grows back.

I would have started the post with the seal :o it's in out standing condition :headbang: worthy of the banner and very sort after in that condition :thumbsup:

I know, I couldn't believe it. We were not expecting much, as we covered this field after it was ploughed flat with the hay crop.

I think this circular flat type is on equal par with the shield shape, in terms of rarity.

I'm very happy with it :icon_thumright:

PS. Your ring at this time of year was making me sick, I had to try harder :laughing7:

I thought I was being kind, by letting him detect the land he found on his own (with my Cortes). I keep nicking all the good stuff off the land he has been good enough to find for us. :wink:

cheers mate, it will be a hard one to match. Best in 20+ years! These are highly collectable & quite valuable compared to most UK finds. That a side, you can't find many 5-6 hundred year old items which connect you with a single person, its touching history, up close & personal!
