Medieval Part 2

[celticspikey]

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.

wow that's a lovely selection of finds 

[Dryland]

A great mix again Paul

[Dale]

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

The pennies nice, its a Henry III long cross...... WALTER ON LUND .....

Is that a little silver cross?

[Chef Geoff]

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

That's what I thought I wrote Geoff

Thanks for the info guys, and Dale here's the previous hook fastener with the latest one for comparison  they are indeed similar mate as you can see.

[b.buoy]

That's really nice. Definitely on my wish list

[Dale]

Cheers Paul, id say that's a pair off fasteners Comparing the two now it looks as if it was made to have the flat top and not a repair.... Two lovely items mate

[Chef Geoff]

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

[The Doc]

Great finds.

I feel pretty certain that the hooked tags are early medieval (10th century or thereabouts)

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

Thanks Dale on the ID, no the cross is lead mate bit unusual (for me any way)
