From the land of the Bluenose...just a few photos of the finds from my UK trip. Everything from circa 50AD to modern as the venues from dig to dig varied. Have been approached to write an article for a UK treasure mag which was unexpected....working on it!

Looks like a Quarter Noble, only got 1 of those & 1 Half Noble - Medieval hammered are rarer to find than Celtic Gold.

Henry V?

Were you at Colchester?

Also, looks like a shilling (maybe halfcrown) of Charles I, if so good hammered find :icon_thumright: Strange you had no small hammered :icon_scratch:

Hammered gold and a bud (I'm sure it's in the background), what more could a Bluenoser ask for. :thumbsup:
