1696 William III Shilling

[blossom]

We managed to fit in a quick swing tonight, after yesterday’s rain the field was perfect for digging! I Went off into a corner of a field and it was button central! Then this little beauty popped out 😍

As the light started to fade we headed back to the car… and I got the best signal of the night and this beautiful button emerged! Haven’t managed to find a similar image … yet. Any help with I’d as ever so much appreciated xx
Assorted bits, one that looks like a lead mould ? and other random bits! Xx

Good shilling and lovely button. It's a livery button for the Montgomerie/Montgomery family of Scotland. Here's a couple of examples in slightly different styles:

Congrats on the great finds. I love that Shilling. English silver is a tough find around here. .

Way to go Blossom, jealous again! My last couple of digs have been bottle tops and pull tabs. But they were ancient😜

So many incredible finds- we sure do have it good here on the east coast, but you folks on the east, east coast REALLY have it great!! Congrats for all those awesome finds!

Believe it or not this period & denomination of coin is harder to find than Hammered & they are normally in very worn condition. So congrats on that one & a Livery Button with most of it's plating.

Well done Blossom. Always enjoy looking at your finds. You have some awesome sites for metal detecting. Couple years back I found this William 111 copper half penny and I live 3500 miles {5700 km} away in Philadelphia area.
