Return to North Worcestershire 3rd August

Our second dig at this North Worcestershire farm with its easy-to-dig sandy soil and cut stubble. Two large fields and a good turnout of hopeful detectorists who weren’t disappointed! After the distraught comments from members who missed out on her cake, Deb went above and beyond and brought two cakes - what a star! 

The weather smiled on us with sufficient cloud cover to keep us cool enough and the rain staying away. There were plenty of finds from a wide range of dates and the members nominated four to be voted on for Dig of the Day.

In joint third place were:

Danny’s Elizabeth I penny

And Rob’s beautiful strap end with its seahorse decoration.

In second place was Ron’s highly decorated fibula

But in first place, by a huge majority, was Deb G’s Bronze Age/Roman button toggle. Congratulations Deb!
