Just been sorting finds from the last three outings. Suppose it must have been about 80 bits and pieces each time, some georgian grots, buttons , bits of lead , usual tat.
Strange that when you find one item a similar one turns up , wonder what the small padlocks were for?
The broken hammered was an appalling iffy signal and I thought it was a little piece of copper initially.
Like finding the green glaze pottery , a nice rim that was on the surface

arrr A shame about the hammie being broken hedehog,  would have been a nice one.
 not one, but 2 small locks hey hmmm   i wonder if they could be from a case or a beuro draw,  or even a charm bracelet

nice one hedgehog what sort of date is the pottery? i do find some pieces like that now and then

When the green glaze is turning up Ian , i expect to find anything around Henry II and III, I have asked Walt (e-mail) to come on and give an update, he is very very good on the pottery. Took him to a field once and he found his first bit of beaker ware, jumping up and down he was , thought he was going to wet himself, hope he posts a pic of it!

the pottery is called Green Glaze pottery and dates anytime from 1300,s to the late 1500,s early 1600,s. It is difficult to be more precise as it has regional variations : example = The tradition started earlier in some places and lasts longer in other places, hence the loose date range. What is good is it is usually a great indicator of where the fields were being worked in the medieval period and as Steve says " the hammered follow" The pottery is UK wide and would be made locally to settlements as no evidence exists of it being mass produced.

its surprising what we keep in our junk boxes
and what we class as junk
