3 hammered

[robfinds]

Went on a field I've detected for years yesterday. There's not much left on it now, but there is loads of iron. Thought it would be the ideal site for the Silver Sabre Plus. Three of us detected the field, none of us had an artifact, but 3 small hammered coins did turn up. All of the coins were found by me using the 25 year old machine, what a classic . The coins are a short cross cut quarter, a voided long cross cut half, and a half penny, of one of the Edwards.

What great finds, Rob. I've detected in the UK five times in the last four years and the only hammered I have found were near Tollerton in York.
I always enjoy reading your post and seeing your finds. Keep 'em coming.
Cheers,

Cheers Ron, did you get the chance to look around York.

Yep, thin silver like that, especially on edge, and around iron, can hide for many many years! Even though a much different type of find it's much the same way for the early military pewter buttons here which are usually in poor condition. Between the two, any site that was productive and has a reasonable amount of iron keeps me going back. I remember even 2-3 years in thinking I beat a place quiet, then made a decent find here and there for many years after.

As small as your gold coins can be that sure wouldn't be out of the question either.

You've never found one? Must be all the seals and 17th century tokens in the way.

sweet hammered

Are the coins actually cut by someone and if so, why? I've seen a few on here so far and had to ask. Thanks

Hi Rob,
In my two short hunts near York I hunted one small field in Nether Poppleton (near the Moat field) and the other in Tollerton. I only had a very limited time to spend in that area. My other hunts in the UK have been in Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire, and this year in Derbyshire. I have found Roman relics and coins as well as several medieval relics and a lot of 1700's coins, but I just keep missing most of the hammered. I relive my UK hunts through forum members like you, SilverSearcher, Crusader, Shaun and a few others.
Thanks for sharing those photos with us.
Best regards,
Ron in Georgia

Hello Bev, yes the coins were cut, a cut half was used as an halfpenny, and a quarter was a farthing.

Not found many, total stands at 2 hammered gold,3 gold staters, and one gold sovereign.

Hello Rob and Silver Searcher. I spent a week in the Staffordshire in March this year so I am not planning a return until to England until sometime in 2011.
