A Fistfull of Coppers

[Silver Searcher]

Went back to the stubble field today for a afternoon hunt the hammered eluded me, Michael getting the only one, a s/cross which looks like it got caught in stubble burning at some point

No hammered, but I managed a counterfeit William111 shilling, and 18 coppers this takes my total of this field to 33. This will be the last trip to this field, until it's ploughed we have covered the productive area were the footpath goes across the field.

I wondered how you would pronounce it

Sounds like a good area

Nice coppers, also an ordnance corps badge, any idea of the age on that? The counterfeit is a nice one also.

Really Nice Coins!

Kind of makes me wonder how many people crossed that field? That's what I would call a lot of coinage, from many different centuries. And also kind of makes you wonder how many other old coins are waiting elsewhere in Europe?

 

[CRUSADER]

Your 2nd day was similar to mine. We hit the best area first (by luck).

I have no idea why you don't go back, I would grid every inch of that field. Get back there, as the 'unproductive' area will have the gems in

 

[Silver Searcher]

Na...we have done the best bit, and the rest is barron and to large to waiste time on, we will do again when ploughed but next week we have a Roman field available, so it's of to that

Think I can say, the answer is a lot.

Sorry to hear about you luck. It may not be the real deal, but a good looking coin to boot. All that matters is you made up for your loss.
