Tiny Hammered Day...

[CRUSADER]

Spent 4 hours with Dad on the Wheat Stubble field I got the Celtic Silver last Sunday(fog day). The conditions are bad with the grass tuffs at nearly 3ft high because of mild & damp conditions So to get what we did was a pleasing result;

10 Roman Coins
Livery Button
18th C Tombac with rose
Roman Lead Steelyard Weight
Jetton

Hammered Farthing Ed III circa 1340.

This has been by far my best year for tiny hammered

Hi CRUSADER: What is the ID on that small Hammered ?? Also Happy Birthday. PEACE:RONB

Now that's what I call a Double Whammy. !!!!!!!

 

[Damon64]

Wish I could find stuff like that! Awesome!!!

 

[hammered]

As shaun says, really nice livery button . I didn't know it was your birthday, sorry about that, but a big happy birthday from me now

Agreed that big button is awesome as is the very old and tiny 1/4 P.
(Humm Linux doesn't print special characters with atl codes.)

Nice stuff.

3 foot grass = no fun. Well unless you're finding 700 yaer odl silver that is.

Thankfully the long grass was in patches & tuffs, so we could work throw them(around them), but the Wheat stubble is pretty much all over 7inches, so had to knock it down as we went.

We are a team & it doesn't matter but as you asked, I will spell it all out for you;

I would never claim I found it all (unless I did & was asked), only that I keep it all (as Dad is helping my hobby & collection), this is what I had:

11 of the 12 buttons fell to me (including the 4 good ones)
Everything in picture 3 except the small piece of furniture decor (top right)
Every bit of buckle in picture 4
Every coin & Jetton including the 10 Roman Coins except the Charles II Farthing
Of course I got the hammered as well.
1 bit of Roman Pot Shard each

So to sum it up Dad found 1 bit of furniture decor, 1 button,Roman Pot Shard, & 1 coin.

Any other questions

Maybe you didn't read that conditions were tough, near impossible for the Cortes. I hope you feel better embarrassing Cru'Dad.

His behind the scenes efforts are beyond that of any other detectorist I know. If he does 500 hours a year detecting, he will have spent nearly 1000 hours recording, logging, & map production. That is the secret to more land, we get recommended by Leading Archaeologist (TV types ) to farmers as the best they have met. The credit is spread evenly between, my hunting & identification skills, Dads logging, & Land-Mags research/resource efforts (plus permission/contract work). Its about the Team, not who got what.

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me too! Do You had a drink or two?

You made yourself some nice gifts! You livery button is a beaut and the little hammered shows everyone who builds good detectors!

Yeap, we have a great machine alright.
I did do better than expected on my B/D & that was prezzie enough. It's a tough time of year & the 10 Roman Coins I had, doubled this months total.

Look forward to your post.

Best birthday wishes
congrats on your finds
Hats off to the Team for all the great work you accomplish
So much more than 'Treasure Hunting'
Some are, some aren't, I don't care for the term myself.
(though I have sold a dug artifact)
Great digs!
