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

That coin of King Henry VIII "is very nice, I suppose that this finding came together several key factors:

1 - One of the best hunters U.K.
2-A very good machine (GMP).
3-The Areas are rich in findings (Although "Cru" insist on denying it.)
4-A coin in very good condition.
5-The coin belongs to the most good artistic period of history .

... need not be Banner ..... I will always remember this coin.
Greetings! :thumbsup:
