Old Permission - Field 4 - Day 1 - Rare Hammered...

[CRUSADER]

Hot & windy day, fields are still very wet in places, & can't see them drilling anytime soon but we are still targeting those that will be drilled & saving the others for later.
With this in mind, I checked our old maps & targeted a field that had a fair amount of finds in one half of the field & nothing in the other end. We started in an area where we hadn't gridded before & after 1 hour of very little I went to the fallback plan of doing the more productive half. This yielded more results & has encouraged us to do a return trip at some point.
2.5 hrs for me, a little less for Cru'dad.

6 Scrappies
Tudor Clothes Fastener, nice to still have its hook intact
Lead Token with a nice Cockerel on it. Very likely to be a late 17th-early 18th C Pub Token of the Cock Inn.
Rare Heavy Coinage (1461-4) of Edward IV - Half penny Rose Mintmark/Annulets at neck type. A first for the album. (found by me)

Those portraits on those coins always crack me up how crude looking they are. Nice Job.

Nice going getting a hammered for the album.

I will agree on that one also.
Comparing the coinage portraits of the Roman coinage one has to wonder really.

Maybe why they are really called hammered. The designer was piss drunk. 🤣

I've seen you find and post so many coins over the years ...its amazing still that there are still a few you have not found( yet)
Filling a hole in a personal coin collection is always satisfying.
Nice little coin, it deserves a place in a proper album
