Managed to get out over the Christmas break on Saturday in the hope of taking my hammered Silver coin total close to the fifty for the year I am hoping fore, Michael my detecting partner winkled one out almost straight away so my hopes were high :thumbsup: managed a few nice Medieval finds before I had my first Silver but it wasn't the hammered I was hoping for, turned out to be a nice mans size Silver thimble a bit squashed but in nice condition, then I had one of the best Roman Bronze Coins of the year Constantinius I think, reverse Romulus and Remus she wolf suckling twins, then my first hammered(well part of one) one of the Tudors possibly Elizabeth no 47 for the year, a few more bits and pieces came out including a plain strap end(medieval) then a second hammered (broken again) one of the Edwards York mint no 48 for the year. Three days to go and I'm out tomorrow here's hoping for 50 :thumbsup:

Thanks Rob....getting a run on jettons/tokens lately got another today :thumbsup:
 

Our hammered target is 50 but at only 44, I have no chance & Dad is away until the 1st. With the XP we should make it next year.

The Jetton is a nice early & not such a common type in great nick. The Roman is a 1 in 100 :thumbsup:

Good Luck & I hope we met up soon (XP against XP) :D

Great finds. I've never found one but I think the old silver thimbles with the designs are one of my favorite finds on T-Net.
