George III 1797 & 1806 Pennies, Musket Ball, Steel Yard Weights...
Hi All,
Did a few lengths on a field at my local farm as I'd gone to collect my eggs and the weather had turned nice for a while.
This, and the field next to it, are pasture fields now but had been ploughed many, many years ago - I shall give them more attention at a later date.
The 1806 George III must have been lost very early in its life as there was so much detail still left on it:
The 1797 Penny - and the Victorian sixpence were very smooth though - hardly any detail left at all:
Found 2 more steel yard weights (found quite a few on this farm already) - pretty old I guess by the colour of the lead - the iron loop deteriorated completely:
And a few other bits and bobs, Musket Ball, 21 new pence (beer money) and a curved but of bronze metal, 7.5cm long hole at each end?
You can't beat farm-fresh eggs!
Get well soon Michael!
