No sure if the lead item is a spindle whorl or a loom weight Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: Mungo on March 22, 2018, 02:49:07 PM well done ........ 8)
Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: probono on March 22, 2018, 03:33:22 PM Nice selection :) - looks like it is a pretty fresh permission too (i.e not too many other people have been on it).
Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: Val Beechey on March 22, 2018, 06:47:56 PM Nice selection of finds Andre. I’d say the small round thingy with the bit in the middle is a spindle whorl. The larger flat one is probably a skirt or curtain weight.
Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: Andre on March 22, 2018, 07:09:43 PM The field is part of one of my permissions but was always full of nasty bulls.The farmer said someone has been there detecting about 12 years ago but didn’t find much.
It’s my second time there,first one found about 30 coppers and a gold brooch.Its going to be turned into a potato field so I’m out of it till September Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: Val Beechey on March 22, 2018, 09:51:26 PM Potatoes means deep plough. Just think what’s waiting to be found ;D
Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: Andre on March 23, 2018, 05:28:17 AM I know Val,it’s just the wait...

It’s my second time there,first one found about 30 coppers and a gold brooch.Its going to be turned into a potato field so I’m out of it till September I keep asking the farmer on the permission I go to if he is going to plough some of his pasture (he's mentioned it once or twice) - but he hasn't yet. As other people have said - it's going to be great when it does get ploughed. Title: Re: yesterdays hunt Post by: Andre on March 23, 2018, 09:19:45 PM By the age of the stuff I’ve been finding,the first ten inches bring stuff from late 1700’s.The same applies for other fields I do.Sometimes farmers they change the purpose of certain fields,you have to keep an eye on it Probono

Problem is one half of the field is shallow and stony and the other end is bottomless... |
