The Scream !!

Sandpit Farm Day Out

Saxon era shield boss followed below by a saxon cruciform...what has been going on here in ages past is there a burial site nearby...one can speculate.The decoration on the shield boss indicates a high status owner not your ordinary warrior who would most likely have a plain iron boss.
A great day and an amazing array of finds from all ages.

That applies to any image on this site....

The saxon era cruciform brooch is an article often associated with female burials quite rare to see one intact as here.

An excellent roman era umbonate brooch inlaid with glass still brilliant after nearly 2000 years in the ground and a medieval heraldic horse decoration from the 13 th or 14th century.It should be possible to trace the owner of the latter from the college of arms

An assortment of finds from our last club day out each one a great find...your host only found a thimble and a musket ball....but still I had to stop searching after two hours!!!

Another fine Indian summer day on an Elizabethan era farmstead with roman connections.
