Almanac

[robfinds]

Latest finds included a first. A small almanac, think these were used by farmers to work out crop seeding times ?. Also the compulsory Edwardian hammered silver penny, Canterbury mint came out to play.Lost count now of the hammered coins that have surrendered to the Deus over the last few months. Going to have a count up.

Hammered coins total since last November. Counting full, cut and broken coins 74. A few weeks left to get 100.

Your usual hammered. Wish you luck to get 100! Like the farmers almanac. Not many dug ones seen on here!

Cheers Westfront, cleaned the almanac a little, the slots on the front are full of dates of the month.

That's a very good question, would guess 19th Century ?.

74, I think that's about how many Wheat Cents I found last year, somehow they just don't compare!

Colin it's all about sites, and time put in, as I'm sure you know.

I wonder if the Little Orphan Annie decoder was modelled after the Almanac?
