This has to have been my best day this year. :o

See the shots of the debased Roman Silver coming out the ground, had no idea it was silver until after the first photo.
I had:
Roman Silver - Severus Alexander - Rome AD232, Mars Reverse
3 Hammered:
Ed I - York Mint
Alexander III Scottish cut-halfpenny - Berwick Mint :o
Then on the way back to the car in the smaller field I got a loud hit I thought might be a coke can piece on the top, looked for it on the surface, picked up a white stone (thinking it might be it), but then spotted the hammered pocking out the grass :o Turns out to be a rare Henry VIII Groat :o

Stunning 6th Century AD Saxon Brooch
Stunning Saxon Mount
Fragment of a Saxon/Viking dagger chape
2 Medieval Buckles
1620s Royal Farthing
Georgian Gaming Token
A nice 17th Century Button - type I need

oh & Dad got a couple of buttons, 1 copper, 2 modernish coins

If you had gone left instead of right, it might have been your post. The hammered on the way back was close to your Gothic Florin :wink:

Possible, as they were on the slop (apart from yours). However, we are so close to the Saxon Church & Saxon Town that its proabably random loses as they went to & from the River.

I'm ecstatic to hear that you are ticking off people on your side of the pond.
That is a good sign of excellent detecting skills.
Not being able to Google why?, well just too damn lazy, why is the Henry VIII so rare? Mintage?
Condition?
Problem with that wife thing?
Ticking off the Church?
Cheers, and kudos,
Carl

Oh yeah, Banner, yet again. :icon_thumright:

Re: Finished Field of Surprises - WOW!!!

Hey Cru:

Is there any doubt, that this is your best day this year. The brooch "is" stunning, the Henry VIII "is" stunning, it's all stunning. Did you take extra "heart" medication??? I don't know what else to say "WHOW"

Condition is definately one, only a few years after this one the shortage of Silver meant many of these were debased or had copper cores. This one is in VF & high grade silver, its also a Groat which is a large coin (less about & lost). Plus as you say, being a well known King can't harm the price.
