VIKING - GRID ON!!!

[CRUSADER]

We took a chance today on a field we have hardly touched. It had been recently disced & looked inviting. We started like we start all new land; spread out 2 widths apart & doing lengths of the shortest side until... Cru'dad hit a Viking Mount - forget that juicy-nectar it was GRID ON!
2 hours into the grid nothing else of note popped up so we took a drink break & then tried another next door field. Very quickly we decided this field was no good & came back to the original. Almost immediately we wandered onto some Roman Coins - Grid on again.

After 5 hours our haul was:

9 Scrappies
2 debased Roman silvers
Counterstamped blank sixpence
Pan Weight
Tudor Leather Mount
Tudor Clothes Fastener (broken)
Tudor Button
17/18th C Pair of Compasses/Dividers (very cool, my first of these!)
Very Rare Viking Urnes Style Mount -Serpentine body & Dragons Head - I believe the function of these is unknown.
Anglo-Scandinavian / Viking 'Urnes' Mount 025953

Crusader, are you running out of space in your house to store all your finds? You must have boxes and buckets of relics everywhere!

"could" your dividers be tweezers ? just my thought.

Good field, bad field you still ended up with lots of targets, and keepers.

Do you ever get Viking coins ?

Not easy to picture but the ball joint at the top allowing it to open wide, so it is a compass.

I've only ever had 2 Viking Coins.
