1696 William III Shilling

[blossom]

We managed to fit in a quick swing tonight, after yesterday’s rain the field was perfect for digging! I Went off into a corner of a field and it was button central! Then this little beauty popped out 😍

As the light started to fade we headed back to the car… and I got the best signal of the night and this beautiful button emerged! Haven’t managed to find a similar image … yet. Any help with I’d as ever so much appreciated xx
Assorted bits, one that looks like a lead mould ? and other random bits! Xx

Good shilling and lovely button. It's a livery button for the Montgomerie/Montgomery family of Scotland. Here's a couple of examples in slightly different styles:

Way to go Blossom, jealous again! My last couple of digs have been bottle tops and pull tabs. But they were ancient😜

So many incredible finds- we sure do have it good here on the east coast, but you folks on the east, east coast REALLY have it great!! Congrats for all those awesome finds!

 

[CRUSADER]

Believe it or not this period & denomination of coin is harder to find than Hammered & they are normally in very worn condition. So congrats on that one & a Livery Button with most of it's plating.

Well done Blossom. Always enjoy looking at your finds. You have some awesome sites for metal detecting. Couple years back I found this William 111 copper half penny and I live 3500 miles {5700 km} away in Philadelphia area.
