Finding An Anglo-saxon Sword Pommel Cap
Treasure Hunting magazine|July 2017

After finding out that the farmer of one of our permissions had given us two additional ploughed fields to detect, my brother-in law Alan and I (Fig.1) quickly planned a trip down to Lincolnshire. Fortunately this permission is very near to where my sister lives and we were able to stay with her for the weekend.

Finding An Anglo-saxon Sword Pommel Cap

After a three hour drive from where we live in Burnley we finally arrived to be greeted by gorgeous weather and the fresh smell of spring in the air. I just couldn’t wait to get out onto the fields with my Garrett 400i!

On the first day finding anything of note was rather hampered by an abundance of foil and other rubbish. However, between us Alan and I did manage to pull out what looks to be a medieval spur rowel and a couple of Roman bronze coins including one Constantine issue in great condition (Figs.2a & b).

Lost and Found?

There have been several instances over my long detecting career where, not only has it has been a delight to be able to help people who have lost things, but also a great thrill when such losses are returned to their owners. I have several memories of such occurrences.
