After posting the 3 hammies I collapsed in a pile with a glass (or 2) of wine. When I eventually recovered enough energy to empty my finds bag on Thursday and had a couple of surprises. I thought the other stuff was worth posting, not because anything is mind blowing but because I usually only post the choice things and that doesn’t really represent a day’s detecting does it
So here’s a bigger report
There’s one area at the far end of the big field that I think had a house on it. There’s loads of stone around and it’s very noisy. I am still trying to work the field out and haven’t gone near about 80% of it yet so didn’t stay there that long. However I did dig two signals there. One was a broken medieval forked buckle spacer plus what I thought was a piece of thick copper wire. It was actually a purse frame like
this one . They are dated 1500-1550.
Think I need to go back to that area but it's a long walk with quite high weeds and it’s a long way from where I was finding silver so we’ll see.
Also had a round lead disc that I thought might be a bag seal but actually I think might be a coin weight. It weighs 8.6g. Maybe it us just a bit of nothing anyway
Also had a BP oil cap, a copper hanging loop, pewter spoon/ fork handle, square 19/20th century harness mount, a few bits of clay pipe, a fragment of what would have been a quality bronze bowl or similar with file marks (second photo below above the pottery) and the other usual buttons and stuff.
I’ve been asked a few times to include the rubbish and other targets I’ve dug so photos of the largeish pile of lead and the complete trash are included too.
