Cru'Dad's Lucky Hunt!!!

Whilst I was down the pub, Dad was still trying for likely places ready for the weekend. It was another huge Barley stubble field, which we had never hunted but had very little going for it!

He only hunted for 1.5 hours & got a very lucky find & it happened as follows;

He had dug up 2 large plough shears & was carrying them to the edge quickly to get them off the field. He got another banging signal & thought he was in for another plough bit but dug a:

Charles I

[CARLOVS.D.G.MA]G.BRI.FRA.ET.HIB.[R]EX

Oval draped shield
Bugle mint mark
Truro Mint
[CHRISTO.AVSPI]CE.RE[GNO]



This is now our largest denomination of hammered ever found

It's a good thing your Dad found it before you have your company this weekend. You would play hell getting rid of me if I had dug that up in one of your fields. Tell your Dad congrats

Nice 1964 nickle.

That Charles I beside it should be on the banner. Doesn't matter who found it.

Tell Cru'Dad congrats for me.

Tremendous find. Looks like it's edges were trimmed a bit.
Congrats to your Dad. I might have traded a pint for that find.....

True, but not sure he will be so lucky, it was a random find

The expression is clipped, & yes its been heavily clipped, it was a fairly common practice although you would have had your hand chopped off if you were caught. Clipping during Charles I's reign increased as we were at Civil War & there was a shortage of coins.

No, although I have had a couple in the past.

Re: Cru'Dad's Lucky Hunt!!!

Hip Hip Hooray for your Dad I also believe that it should be on the banner. Charles I was coming to his end already and in a couple of years he will lose his head.
