Title: Medieval Part 7
Post by: celticspikey on May 31, 2015, 10:13:58 AM
Here we go part 7, getting close to completing these searches not sure I will get to 10,  ??? you can all most see the maize growing during a search. I managed a couple of beaten up Hammies, and a couple of tokens/ jettons could do with a help on the ID of these if you fancy a go, the larger one I'm sure I have had before in better condition and looks like a religious type figure standing within an arch?. The brooch is a Roman T shape from the 1st-2nd century and was enameled and has signs of being silvered, this came from a slope in a field next to medieval. ;)

Lovely finds again Paul and I must say your a better man than me I get too intimidated by planted crops lol
The Jetton is a French "King under canopy" type issued during the reign of Philippe VI 1326-1364 ;) the other is the standard sausage token by our old friend Hanns Kravwinckel, there is a good 200 years between them ;)

Thanks for your ID Geoff, A sausage token WOW I wonder how many they would have got for the token,  1/2 lb a 1lb who knows very interesting though. ;), I too get intimidated mate, it's not to bad with maize crop if your carefull as you know and I even try to put the crop back in line and even use the spade to trowel the lines back in. That said its not far of the height where it's only fair to respect the farmers crop and let nature take its course , always later in the season which we all lookkfarward to.  ;)
