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.

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

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

At first I thought you were teasing! That is really wild! Thanks for your answer!

WTG under some challenging detecting conditions . I know perfectly well how complicated it is to detect where there is a lot of iron around.

Three in a day is good in my books Rob, the Silver Saber always was a good machine

I agree, its 1 of my backups. I'm waiting to use it with my new 4" coil on the Thames.

Three pieces of silver in one day is very nice.
