Hey Diggers,
May has been a good month for me! I have found another French campsite from the 1793 battles, a Roman site, plus another medieval coin or two. I also have another Bronze Age item that is just simply gorgeous. Lots of pictures. I hope you enjoy them!
The sickle blade is not a rare find. Google "double knob sickle blade" to see other examples online. A Bronze Age axe is next on my dream list!
The two rings are French and were found in the French camp from 1793. The blue stone is glass and there are Fleur-de-Lis symbols on the side. The other ring has 3 Crusader Crosses. Both were found about 50 feet apart but probably not lost by the same soldier.
The clay pipe is late 1700s and was also found in the camp. It was about 1 foot deep and the copper wind cap was still attached and that is how I found it!
I'm very disappointed that my first Roman coins look so bad. The soil is very acidic here and doesn't show much mercy to copper coins.
