''The Hill'' - Day 6 - Hammered & Roman Silver +++

[CRUSADER]

One of the colder days this year but stayed dry & the surface was not sticky due to recent wind.

10 Scrappies (1 holed)
18th C Pewter Navy Button
Fossil Shell
2 Jettons
2 Few bits of Saxon mystery pieces
Saxon Clothes Fastener
Mystery Medieval Lead piece with a Cross
2 Saxon 6th C Brooches
2 La Tene (Celtic) Brooches
Roman Fibula (Brooch 1st C AD)
Ancient Bronze Awl

"Assortment" is the right word, in this area any period could appear -
Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Early Saxon, Middle Saxon, Late Saxon/Viking, Medieval, Tudor, Post-Medieval!

I've been amazed at your finds for years. Your collection of the things you've dug out of those fields must be quite a sight.

I've been reading your posts for years and I'm amazed at the numerous awesome finds you are digging out of those fields. The collection you have removed from the ground after all those hunts over many years must be overwhelming!
I'm going to Mindenhall AFB in England, It's near Cambridge. I'll be going next year to visit a family member who is stationed there.
I will be bringing my metal detector!

Good area. Get them to find a nearby farmer to give permission.

A great hunt on the hill again!
