I did some research some time ago & asked my newbie friend to look into it. He came back with permission & today told me the Wheat had been harvested. He could not make it, but Dad & I went out for 2 hours.

We had never done this field, so we tracked down the lead :wink: After finding it, we just did the tracks as the stubble was terrible. Dad had 3 roman coins before I had another find of a lifetime!

Celtic Gold Stater:
South Ferriby Type 45-10BC - My oldest coin (Dad has one Roman Silver from 48BC), so not the teams oldest ::)

Horse with six sided star.
Obverse die of Apollo which has been used until completely obliterated, & the books quote 'some show almost plain obverse' - which this is!

3rd Gold Coin of the Year - Words are now difficult to explain the year I'm having :o

Also a Todur Book Clasp
1723 Irish Halfpenny - looks good when wet, can read it all - not had this date
4 Roman Coins
Bronze Slag
Very Large Victorian Fire surround - I think :dontknow: Big enough to think the site has not been hit to hard, if at all!

Cheers mate. I'm still getting over it 8)

I thought of yours the second I found it. I now have all the 4 neighbouring tribes.

Is it debased, or is that just crud on it :icon_scratch:

It was even more cruddy until I cleaned it. I believe it was somewhat copper debased as it is a little under weight, not quite enough for a copper core, I believe :thumbsup:
Click to expand...
Should weigh around the 5g, mine weighed 5.6g

SS
Click to expand...

Might be copper core then, as its a bit over 4g
Click to expand...
What's the diameter, should be between 18-22mm, if yours is smaller this will count for the weight :read2:

SS.
Click to expand...

no, spot on 20mm

I'd still take it, debased or not, Rocking Horse something comes to mind ::)

Another beautiful coin; congrats!!
Since you note the copper, perhaps it was minted in rose gold as were others of this type.

Rose Gold is just a Copper added to the Gold, hence the green on Cru's coin.

Drunk is a good time to daydream. :D I do it all the time. :drunken_smilie:

By the way, I have always wondered and I'm sure it has been asked before, what is your avatar?
I have searched the web and can find similar but not that exact pic. Is it viking?
