Charles 11 Shilling Scarse Date 1683..

[Silver Searcher]

Finally got a break in the awful weather today so I headed back to the new field were I found the Saxon pennie, unfortunatlly the bad weather returned, but I was there and I wasn't going to let it put me off. luckily this field is still in stubble, so it wasn't to bad.
Turned out to be one of the better days for a long time, and one of the best days I have had with milled silvers, including the Charles 11, a huge William 111 half crown and a sixpence, along with a Vicky Shilling of 1900.
nother first for me was the completre shoe buckle. with the chape and pitch fork tongue, Romans were popping out all over including a huge Sestertius of Commodus. 1800s Pewter whistle..another first, Roman belt fitting and a complete georgian fob...I can't wait for this field to be ploughed, it just might chuck out something really spectacular.

The Shilling Books at £225 in F which is what this would grade, if it had been a VF=EF I would be looking at £2500=£3000 but I'll take it.

fantastic finds. you scored some really great coins and relics

Living up to your name sake, that is a great bunch of big Silver.
Not to mention the buckle, seal, and very cool whistle.

It is a drag that the pictures come out in a mixed up order, and anyone else find this site running painfully S-L-O-W ? Hate to sound like a broken record, but this site is still sucking, any fixes in the forecast ?

Hello Colin!
I do not visit much T.Net lately ... , and I missed this great post ..... I like all the findings but the silver coin is the best ... congratulations.!

Outstanding Finds!

 

[Steve in PA]

Some wonderful relics and coins there. The seal, the whistle, the little knee or breeches buckle are very cool relics and the coins speak for them selves!

Awesome finds! What do those Roman coins run for, do you sell them or keep them?

Sadly SS is not around to reply, hopfully he won't mine me doing it instead. Roman Coins sell for next to nothing, you could buy all those pictured for about $10 & still be over paying. (clearly some rarer types in great condition are more)
Dad & I find 1000 Bronzes a year, although this is not typical of most hunters & we target the right sites, it does give you a clue on how many the Roman Empire pumped out.

Not me. I wish.

I'd like to come too! That is, if you could stand two Yanks with their tongues hanging out and drooling uncontrolably!
