It rained last night leaving the bare fields a muddy mess this morning but resulted in better signals for our metal detectors. When not scraping a few extra pounds of clay muddy goo off our boots and bottoms of the detector coils, we were coming up with some pretty good finds. I may have found a stonker* but will wait for the expert ID probably tomorrow. I believe it is a Saxon belt or harness slide with a decoration that just screams Saxon to me. It came from a field that I have wanted to detect for two years but the field conditions just weren't right before. Clarence found another large Roman coin, an interesting lead token and a Templar's badge. Ron found a Roman fibula brooch,which is
a prized fnd and also a long cross hammie*. After dinner tonight, we had a popcorn and movie night. ChicagoRon had left his personal copy of his National Geographic Channel program "Lucky Muckers" because some of our group hadn't seen it yet.
Pedometer readings: yesterday 19,417 steps or 8.58 miles. Today I must have slacked off some as the reading showed only 13,731 steps and 6.06 miles. See you here tomorrow!
