Today’s Finds xx

[blossom]

Another glorious day today… forecast was for rain and storms 🤔 xx. Went back to the fields we were in last Saturday… very quiet today, walked miles 😅, not even very much lead to keep me amused! xx but being lost in the fields is still far better than anything else! xx

Nice little buckle to start you off, then a strange ‘nail’ , casket key, a lever, one of those loops we always find, decorative bits, corset bits, pretty lead button, what I’m calling a stylus, complete crotal bell, I love cleaning these, something very satisfying about getting all the mud out with my cocktail stick, 😆.. buttons, toasted pre dec, and my star find, a Indian Bengal Presidency One Pie coin 1831-1835 …. Now obviously I thought it was a token for a pie when I saw One Pie 😂😂 but a strange find for our little field in Leicestershire! xx

Tomoz we are back out on the Roman Road fields, hopefully, it’s bucketing with rain here now tho 🤨 xx

That casket key is way cool! My imagination runs away, here’s my theoretical synopsis:
Poor folks often had less casket “bling”, locks, brass handles etc. Their caskets were often nailed closed.
Casket key = casket lock = $$
Lady Jane Grey was from Leicestershire. I’ll declare a family tie to your key, via her family!
LOL, I’m full of pudding, but it makes a good story. Congrats on a cool item.❤️

Ah it's still a very notable day of recoveries.
Great looking relics.
The key is getting the 🥧.
Best of luck with your search tomorrow.
