Title: Oxford hammie Fest THE RETURN Post by: Pipster on March 04, 2013, 11:14:50 AM An early start saw myself, Gaven, Ianjohn and a not so well Roman Ray heading up the M4 for the return to our Hammie Fest farm
for round three, And it came up trumps yet again with another four hammies this now brings the total 20 and we have only been on the first three fields ... Fist blood going to me this time a the way of a Lizzy I Groat closely followed by Gav and a Henry V penny ( I think )... Next it was Ianjohn's turn with another Lizzy I, Then a shout of all shouts Ianjohn again this time a Bronze axe will done mate ( jammy git ) ;) ;) ;) Hammie Number four went to Gavin ( the man is on fire ) A good few Romans also came up and a Roman brooch for me ( One for the Chef ) The boys will post there own finds later... Berkshire next week with a return to Oxford the week after ... And we all hope Ray will be back on form ( Get well soon mate ) Title: Re: Oxford hammie Fest THE RETURN Post by: Mungo on March 04, 2013, 11:16:05 AM a good day out , great finds 8)

Title: Re: Oxford hammie Fest THE RETURN Post by: Chef Geoff on March 04, 2013, 03:11:33 PM Well done all....I missed another good one :'(
Great find Phil. The fibula is an early Colchester type (Hattatt 1455) and dates to around the time of the conquest but is known of before, so is of British rather than Roman origin and so could be classed as Iron Age ;) And here's one in all it's glory....

Title: Re: Oxford hammie Fest THE RETURN Post by: probono on March 04, 2013, 06:52:00 PM Nice stuff - that Durham penny seems really quite nice.
I think I might have founda similar fibula on the weekend myself, but without the suspension loop - and to think I almost winged it :) Title: Re: Oxford hammie Fest THE RETURN Post by: congerman on March 04, 2013, 10:47:16 PM great finds well done every one good pics as well ;)
