A Few Recent Finds....AMAZING UPDATE RARE COIN...

[Silver Searcher]

It's been a very slow start to the season so far for me, a broken toe has hampered the detecting and I found it hard to stay on a field for longer than a couple of hours.
My main fields are now cut, but I hate stubble, but I think in a short while they will be ploughed but I have managed a couple of things that might interest you a small Cannon ball (grape shot I think) this is the first one of these I have found, but i like it

Managed a few Silvers, A William Sixpence from the same area were I found the York Shilling, this makes four coins from there so I think a small purse loss a very nice 18thc Horse Boss with face The Romans are hiding only had about six...all poor
The couple of hours I managed today produced the first Hammereds one is a Cracker Cut Half Penny of Henry 11 Walter on Northampton and a Henry 111 cut half, I also found a coin or Jetton which I can't ID

hopefully The season should get better, Tomorrow I try a very difficult field, very quiet but some great stuff has been found there

UPDATE...just found out what the small bronze coin is, it's a coin of James 111 of Scotland,1460-1488. Pennies or farthings, which are commonly referred to as Crosraguel pennies, from the abbey at St. Andrews where most of the extent examples were found. It is not for certain whether these were an Ecclesiastical issue
that was issued by Bishop James Kennedy, or if they were a regal issue. At any rate, regardless of the issuer, they must have not been popular as they have never been found in any quantity aside from the Crosraguel hoard. Halfpenny or 1/2d Probably unique
Farthing or 1/4d Popularly known as "Black money

As you know, price means very little to me, just thought I would quote the book. It must be pretty damn rare for both of us to have never seen one

Sorry I missed this post Colin and as Cru said, great set of finds . My 2 favorite are the cannon ball and the James 3rd coin, that is an amazing find well done . The chances of finding anything like that down this way are next to zero.
How did you break your toe?, I broke one of mine many years ago so I know how painful they are. Make sure you rest it and keep it elevated

UKFD knocked the coin back because of the condition, it deteriorated a bit when I got it back I have been checking a bit and learned the penny was 19mm, but this one is 11mm, found a good site that said Half pennies are probably unique

Maybe you should think about letting her out of the shed then...before you break another toe

Itcould have been worse, if I had dropped that cannon ball on it

That's a KILLER day Colin, no Romans needed! Those clipped Henrys' are absolutely beautiful as is that incredible William III Sixpence! The Horse Boss with the face is First Rate too but I think the Scottish Coin of James III may take the cake if its that rare! It don't take you long to find the good stuff, broke toe or not
