Yesterday's finds...

[herbie]

Was too dark yesterday by the time we got home to photograph these.

Me and the Mrs got out for a few hours and after digging lots of hedge fodder and yomping through the mud we managed a pretty good haul for the day between us

First & second honours for the day went to me with a tiny hammered, ? farthing, and a lovely lead apothecary's weight, the second i've found so far, it's amazing they survive!

Not to be outdone the Mrs then found the lovely beehive thimble and what we think is probably a needle case (now know it's a dagger chape, thanks to Romano-brit) within a few feet of each other, so maybe they belonged to the same person

Then on the way home as it was getting dark and cold the Mrs pulled up a rather battered hammered.

So all in all a pretty productive day, two things we've never had before, the thimble and the needle case. dagger chape

Needless to say off out again today........

Nice finds, wish my sites were half as productive for a few hours work !   I think I could challenge you for Silver foil though LOL.    lots of interetsing stuff and 2 hammies    Is that one a roman as well ?

[herbie]

Cheers mate, what I haven't shown is all the pockets full of rubbish we found as well, including foil

Yes two romans, both grots really but can just make out Romulus & Remus feeding from the wolf on one.

[romano-brit]

which ones the needle case?? coz theres a couple of dagger chapes there

[herbie]

Bottom three pics are the same item from different angles, that's the one I thought was a needle case, but have had a look at dagger chapes and have found one exactly the same, thanks for the ID, never had a dagger chape before either so still good
