Spring 2011, Day one

Here we are, back at it again.  Clarence and I spent most of yesterday in London at The British Museum.  We eyed lots of gold coins and jewelry, in an attempt to program our minds to seek out those hot signals.  Our ride to Colchester from London was a bit late this morning due to traffic.  That put us out in the fields a little later than normal at 1:30.  We hunted until 6pm.  Clarence is cleaning up our finds right now and it looks like there might be some good ones along with our junk.  Clarence has a long, thin piece (possible spoon handle?)with some interesting designs on it.  In my non-expert opinion, I think it might be Viking or Saxon.  We'll see what our fearless leader says when he picks us up tomorrow morning and looks over today's finds.  I found a button with a nice design and some red enamelling showing. It has printing on it but I can't tell what it says. I also have a loom weight, three greenies (copper coins), part of a thimble, a loom weight and some widgets. Clarence has some buttons, a small piece of chain that looks old, a bale seal, a mount and even more widgets.The bodies are tired, so we going to bed early (9:30) in hopes of being rested and raring to go at 8am Check back tomorrow for an update.  Hopefully I will get used to this smaller keyboard on this netbook soon.  Please overlook any typos.  Until tomorrow...
