21 Roman Coins & a VIKING Penny...

[CRUSADER]

We spent 3 hours in the morning trying 3 new fields on our new permission. Although the crops are well grown, we wanted to check the tyre tracks in case we could find a site or 2. Nothing really turned up until we headed back to the car down the middle of the field on the tyre tracks & Cru'dad got a Viking Penny!
Our afternoon stop was on a bit of bird cover that had been deep ploughed & rolled. It was 1 acre on the 'Copse Site'. It only took us 2.5 hours to grid it but the 21 coins & Spoon made it worth it!

21 Scrappies (although 1 is a nice Carinus I need, we don't find many of him)
Fake Geo IV Shilling (cut)
2 bits of Roman Bracelet
1 Roman Fibula
Roman Spoon - Most complete one we have found
Circa 895AD Viking Penny of the St Edmund type. Funny story is that the Vikings are producing coins commemorating a Saxon King that they tortured to death.

Great survivor, Cru'dad picked off the top, the next machinery to run over it would have killed it. Its all in the timing!

Perfect timing for sure! Great spoon and a fantastic silver! Congrats!

That spoon is awesome, glad you saved it and the penny that looks very very fragile.well done!

Yeah that roman spoon is superb, congrats! I'm still looking for one of those (one that isn't a Bulgarian fake, lol).

interesting on the Viking penny, he must have impressed them somehow but not enough to not torture him. A twist of sorts in history. really cool background on the coin

Yes, he very much impressed everyone with his fearless death, that's one reason they made him a Saint & named the city after where they buried him - 'Bury St. Edmunds'.
