These 2 fields are next to each other & less than 1/2 mile from Cru'dad's house.
The Winter Stubble field is a small 1.5 acre plot that we have never had anything of note from. However, because of its relatively good conditions; soft stubble, settled ground, & the big weeds are spread out enough. We decided it was worth doing in bite size pieces, in the hope for 1 good find. (maybe a hammered?)
3 Hours on the Stubble produced a lot of buttons plus:
(Pictures 1 & 2)
Spur bit
Medieval Buckle Plate
Half a Spec. Buckle
Broken 18th C Pastry Jigger
Marker No.1 of a Gunter's Chain
After lunch we did 2 hrs 45 mins on the Sewage Site (a low yield Roman Site near a modern sewage works) This field is an ankle breaker but on the better end of the scale, as some of the area has fallen flattish:
(Pictures 3 & 4)
17 Roman Bronze Coins (good total for this field!)
Bit of a Roman Bracelet
Blank Coin Weight
Broken Tudor Button
