Title: Thistle Field ? Post by: celticspikey on July 08, 2015, 07:53:38 PM Went to the thistle pasture field today, on arrival the cows were in the top field a long way of. I was only in there 3/4 of an hour and the farmer came in ready to cut the field he was only there for 5 minutes and the topper machine packed up, it started making a horrendous noise he stopped to take a look and then started to walk over to me only to ask if he can borrow my spade to pries some metal work of the blades which was successful and my spade remained in one piece Lol . Any way after an hour or so the field was minus the pesky thistles and the grass topped which meant the cows could not sneak up on me!!! and more to the point detecting conditions were perfect for pasture any way hear are the results for the time spent in the field, I would be interested in a date for the stunning little buckle its in super condition as you can see and made of bronze. I have an idea of age but would like any comments.....spikey

But I would hazard a guess on the buckle at around the13th/14th century, don't know,just a hunch!!👍 Title: Re: Thistle Field ? Post by: troutmasterfunk on July 08, 2015, 08:43:16 PM Nice one Paul.... ;)

But PAS has one here... https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/133441 Title: Re: Thistle Field ? Post by: celticspikey on July 08, 2015, 10:25:21 PM Good shout dingdong, thanks mark and Geoff wouldn't it be nice if they were all in this condition if only ;)
