Knights Templar cross, short cross penny and two other artefacts for ID please.

[Giz]

Crossed the border from Norfolk into Suffolk for a club dig on 34 acres of easy to dig stubble.

Well pleased with the short cross and the knights templar cross.

Using the Manticore, 11 inch stock coil. All terrain general setting, sensitivity 22, reactivity 5.



1: Todays best finds.


2: Thought this was a harness ring, now not so sure. ID if possible please.




3:Top of something. Ideas are welcome.



4: Short cross penny for ID please.



5: Interesting find has traces of red and blue enamelling. I think its a Knights Templar cross. Is it a pendant?

Nice harness pendant, it shows the cross of Toulouse, otherwise known as an Occitan cross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitan_cross

Perhaps your cross came from someone from the Languedoc? It's the flag of that area.
