My favourite find so far to date. It got awarded a ‘find of note’ from the PAS team. It’s a bridle strap slide fitting that hid under the surface for 2000 years waiting to show its splendour once again. #metaldetecting #roman finds.org.uk/database/artefa…

Picked this up as puddingstone. It is actually Sarson with a pebble band. Rare too. Only 2 in my collection.

It’s a wonder I get any work done down this chalk pit job!

Possible ritual Neolithic axe head? Sounds far fetched. One I’ll be taking to show the experts.

Puddingstone again! Found this yesterday. Starting to see regular patterns in shapes and styles. Enough now to back a case for 20 or so stones to be looked at as altered by man. They’re very hard rocks to work so don’t expect Bronze Age skill in shape. I contacted my FLO

Which way round should I display it?

Got lucky. Arms are still aching. Hertfordshire puddingstone

Had another look in the area I found the stone yesterday and another P shaped tool. Not much info online to verify type or date the time it was knapped. I’ll have to get some books open!

This is one of the better tools.

Found another beautiful piece of Hertfordshire puddingstone. Really pops this one. Has a reworked cutting edge all around and percussion bulbs all over it.

For #findsfriday a fragment piece of layered puddingstone I found this week. The red is from an iron rich sedimentary layer staining the silica Another heart shape red stone. My favourite Flat side is just the outside of the rock rather than it being ground from usage.

Today was the autumn equinox. My Son born on the winter solstice is having his driving test. May the sun and stars align for you today my Son.
