Failed Bean Field - 3 Hammered !!!

[CRUSADER]

Today I spent 5 hours (& Dad did less than 1) on the field that failed most of the Winter Beans, so they just put in some Spring ones, in the dead areas. The farmer said we can detect it to help keep the crows off.
I had a great result;

1 Scrappy
1 poor 17th C Token
1/2 A Pilgrims Lead Ampulla
18th C Silver Cuff Links (I think its my first complete example)
1922 Sixpence
James I 1603-4 Irish Sixpence (A rare find for us)
Henry II Penny (Another rare coin to get)
Mystery Hammered - Cool looking! (Looks kind of Crusader, it may become my Avatar)

Very well done sir. The hammered silver coins are just spectacular... we don't find very many of those around here (read: zero!). The set cuff links is really sweet too.

Best of luck to you and Dad!

That's actually a lot of money for a hammered! (Thanks)

Great hunt Cru! That little hammered is sweet.

Avatar worthy I think! Glad your dad got out with you. You easily reach back in time for that old silver we all want so bad. As always well done Crusader/.
Thanks for sharing with us.

When I started collecting coins, it was partly the beauty that I liked. Now I'm just lucky I don't have to buy as many as I find.

As always, awesome finds! It just blows me away the age of the relics y'all dig over there. Very very cool! Thanks for posting.

Yes, I just cleaned it & took a better picture for the Avatar. I like this more because I found it & the last one was a Crusader Coin that was given to me as a kid.
