Dad & I did 4 hours gridding where we left off last Sunday & at the end of the first run I got another Sceat.
We also did 1 hour on 2 nearby fields & I got my 2nd hammered of the day - cut shortcross penny (bent).
Hammered - Ed IV Penny, Henry III shortcross
1 Roman Coin
2 Livery Buttons
17th C spoon bowl
Lead Soldier - might be 18th C? Looks very old!
Pieces of a Saxon Brooch (I think)
Medieval Sword fitting
1879 Sixpence
My first 'Queen Anne' 18th C Silver Cufflink
The sceat is a Series N, Type 41b however its just the copper core of a contemporary forgery, a good one at that! See how it would have been in silver:
UPDATE (from expert):
This is a base metal core of an imitation of Series N (Type 41b). Base metal imitations seem to constitute about 1-2 per cent of finds in the sceat coinage, so it perhaps not surprising that this is the first recorded by EMC in Series N, Type 41.
