Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: carling2 on July 25, 2014, 06:31:55 PM good question ;D
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on July 25, 2014, 07:22:15 PM More chance of medieval, but there is an iron age/Roman settlement in the area and I have had both Celtic and Roman on the farm.

Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: nonker10 on July 27, 2014, 03:21:47 PM hi everyone this is the cleaned up buckle i found and a couple of bits of silver on the way home
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: nonker10 on July 27, 2014, 03:24:09 PM i'll try again
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: Val Beechey on July 27, 2014, 04:00:07 PM Ooohhhh that buckle looks a bit interesting. Needs some one with a bit more knowledge than me for an opinion though.
On the way home !! does that mean you didn't do much good earlier. Val Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: Dale on July 27, 2014, 04:10:42 PM Very nice nonker photo 1 looks stunning it really shows it off, id be very chuffed with that !!
It looks a early one ;) Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on July 27, 2014, 04:28:30 PM I think the buckle is circa 13th - 14th C Single looped molded Crowned head. Like this below
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: hotmill on July 27, 2014, 05:36:41 PM That buckle is a cracker! Like that a lot.
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: slowsearcher on July 27, 2014, 05:39:00 PM Lovely buckle ,never seen one with a face on before.
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: Dale on July 27, 2014, 06:19:13 PM Its cleverly made, from all angles it looks like a face, from the side view the top of the crown acts as the nose, so there's a face from each angle, it would be interesting to see a photo with the top of the crown pointing at the camera ;)
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: nonker10 on July 27, 2014, 09:34:07 PM thank you everyone in over thirty years of detecting i've never found that sort of buckle.yes val after the buckle nothing else showed and there was one of my local permissions just having the peas taken off,so on the way home i had a couple of hours.
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: nonker10 on July 27, 2014, 09:36:40 PM nice one taff it certainly looks like 243.
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: nonker10 on July 28, 2014, 02:37:12 PM there you go dale.is that what you meant.
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: Val Beechey on July 28, 2014, 02:55:37 PM Well done Nonker. As soon as I saw the pic I guessed it was something a bit special. 1200 to 1300 can't beat that.
If it shows a face from all angles does it class as Zoomorphic ?? or is it just animal characters. Worth going to the rally for I'd say. Even if you didn't find anything else. Val Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: musket ball on July 28, 2014, 09:00:22 PM was nice to meet new faces on my first rally.like to give a big thankyou for letting us take part.hopefully next time will find a roman or a hammy.
Title: Re: sunday rally Post by: nonker10 on July 28, 2014, 09:28:54 PM thanks val your'e right it's a very nice bit of history that's been delivered to me there.that land felt a bit special up on the ridge, with the right conditions that could be a special field i think it's given us just a tickle of whats up there.
