Saxon Site - Day 2 - 2 SCEATS & a little Scouting...

[CRUSADER]

I've been saving my holiday for a good field/site, so today was that right time to take it.
The weather held off but we had a lot of rain yesterday which made for a sticky day, something we haven't experienced in awhile.
We gridded 3 hours in the morning on the Saxon site & Cru'dad got the 2 Sceats this time, now we both have 2, but I need to get a Saxon Penny to catch up!
After lunch we decided to expore the field next door & see how much Roman stuff had come up since our last outings. A bit disappointing with just 1 Roman coin in 1 hour. So we tried another field for 45 mins & after blanking we packed up.
4 hours 45 mins hunt;

4 Roman Coins
English Jetton
Saxon Hair Pin - strange this is the only artefact that matches the Sceats so far, where are the other finds?
6th C AD Saxon Equal Arm Brooch (rare)
2 Saxon Sceats Circa 700AD

too bad the little buckle is broken very cool!

Well done on the 2 Sceats, and the arm brooch.
It makes for a heavy foot when it's sticky.

 

[jewelerguy]

awesome!

It was a tiny Spectacle Buckle, look at it compared to the Pin-head next to it!

Where is the Pin-head? I can't see him.

Two Sceats again! Great! Did You ever had a year with four Sceats? The Equal Arm Broochis great too. Can't remember seeing one not broken....

Oh, you were referring to an object, not a person. (My wife keeps telling me my jokes aren't funny. This is more proof).

Very nice finds

 

[Relicific]

We had 6 in 2017, but 2-3 seems to be average.

I think its my first complete one, & probably only got 2 others.
