Dad & I spent 5 hours on relatively new ground (try it a little in the past with little to show) next to a Medieval Church. The aim was to try & get a hammered, & it only took me my first run to get it, although that was the end of my luck for anymore.
We came away with a good result;

17th C 1667 Halfpenny Token
Love Token - Will III Sixpence
VERY RARE - Tin Farthing of James II (1684-87) £2000-£3000 in EF, mine is nearly history
Edward I Hammered Penny - London Mint - (TheDane:thumbsup:)
Dad got a Complete Crotal Bell, I got a slightly broken one
Brass corner Book Mount (Tudor)
Broken Book Clasp (Tudor)
Thimble - 'PEACE & GOOD WILL'
Flint Scrapper
3 Tudor Buckles (2 Spectacle types)
13th C Annular Brooch (I like this one!)
Roman Nail
2 Medieval Iron Lock Mechanism

View attachment 769775As always, nice job Crusader.. It is nice to see some real old stuff come out of the ground. Just curious,, what is your oldest find..also, I dug this coin a while back and could never ID it.. Can you shed some light ? The only letters I can see are DEI. Its about the size of a US 5 cent coin. Thanks

My oldest find would be like that Flint Scrapper/blade/tool I picked up in picture 3, 'eyes only' - circa 4000BC. (6000 years old)
My oldest Metal Finds would be Bronze Age artefacts - circa 2000BC (4000 years old)
My oldest Coin - circa 1st C BC (2000 years old)
 

Nice hunt Cru! I like the flint scraper, too. What do you suppose the age is on that? The hammered is awesome, I'm dreaming of the day that I find one. Congrats and happy hunting,
-Ox

Circa 3500-4000BC
