Title: Medieval Part 2 Post by: celticspikey on May 17, 2015, 06:13:55 PM Here's my last lot of finds, the rain we had overnight helped with detection depth, a nice medieval penny as yet not ID (feel free thou) ;) the 3 belt decorations are common finds on occupation sites but the large one has a loop still attached which is a first for me.Hope you enjoy. :)

Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: Dale on May 18, 2015, 08:24:19 PM Nice finds Paul, it looks like the crotal bell is made by William Gwynn, note the W on the half you have http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/b/bells.htm (http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/b/bells.htm)
The pennies nice, its a Henry III long cross...... WALTER ON LUND ..... ;) Is that a little silver cross? Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: Chef Geoff on May 18, 2015, 09:08:07 PM Some "more" lovely finds Paul and I love that bar mount with the hoop attached, shows them in a different light.
A slight correction on the crotal bell it was made by Robert Wells as it has a single W on one side, it would have had an R on the opposite side, William Gwynn although from the same place (Aldbourne) at roughly the same time had WG on the same side ;) Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: Dale on May 18, 2015, 09:15:20 PM Some "more" lovely finds Paul and I love that bar mount with the hoop attached, shows them in a different light.

Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: b.buoy on May 19, 2015, 11:12:30 AM That's really nice. Definitely on my wish list
Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: Dale on May 19, 2015, 09:16:36 PM Cheers Paul, id say that's a pair off fasteners :D Comparing the two now it looks as if it was made to have the flat top and not a repair.... Two lovely items mate ;)
Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: Chef Geoff on May 20, 2015, 10:09:38 AM Dale when you say "flat top" do you mean the back edge? if so then no they were once round, on the top example you can see half of the hole where a central silver rivet would once have been and so were probably more belt hooks than dress fasteners.
They look very much like early medieval fasteners but as there are no examples on PAS (Paul tut tut get them recorded) I can't be sure ;) Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: The Doc on May 20, 2015, 12:13:46 PM Great finds.
I feel pretty certain that the hooked tags are early medieval (10th century or thereabouts) Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: celticspikey on May 20, 2015, 06:53:12 PM Dale when you say "flat top" do you mean the back edge? if so then no they were once round, on the top example you can see half of the hole where a central silver rivet would once have been and so were probably more belt hooks than dress fasteners. Hi Geoff, being recorded with FLO soon mate, all in hand I would like to keep them, but will see what the treasure act says I suppose ;)They look very much like early medieval fasteners but as there are no examples on PAS (Paul tut tut get them recorded) I can't be sure ;) Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: celticspikey on May 20, 2015, 06:54:46 PM Nice finds Paul, it looks like the crotal bell is made by William Gwynn, note the W on the half you have [url]http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/b/bells.htm[/url] ([url]http://www.colchestertreasurehunting.co.uk/b/bells.htm[/url]) Thanks Dale on the ID, no the cross is lead mate bit unusual (for me any way) ;)The pennies nice, its a Henry III long cross...... WALTER ON LUND ..... ;) Is that a little silver cross? Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: celticspikey on May 20, 2015, 06:56:01 PM Great finds. Thanks Doc, good to know ;)I feel pretty certain that the hooked tags are early medieval (10th century or thereabouts) Title: Re: Medieval Part 2 Post by: Chainsaw Bampy on May 20, 2015, 08:12:20 PM nice finds again,well done paul
