Title: Couple of french jettons and a saxon wrist clasp Post by: selectcase on August 02, 2014, 08:39:20 AM Went out on the new permission yesterday - its next to a Saxon graveyard and I found the remains of a possible Saxon wrist clasp and a couple of French jetton - its still in stubble so when it gets cultivated it should be good

You are right about people burying rubbish in the fields.A farm that I go to the farmer told me that is father use to take a trailer in to the village for the locals to tip their rubbish into then he would spread it on the fields.

The give away on palm guards is the slight depression in the centre which stopped the needle slipping off and into your hand/arm. |
