I guess we are getting close to 900.
I didn't seen one before! Great looking coin! The "Gaming Piece" looks to be enameled once? Or is it the soil conditions because some of the coins have that reddish patina too?
Killer find Cru. That must have been an exciting one to dig. I know you don't use the word scarce lightly bud. Cheers !!!

Funny enough, no digging was required. I got a hit on the freshly roughed up oilseed rape stalk & it was laying on the top. I looked down & thought it must be a shotgun shell. Very surprised when I picked it up!
That's wild! Farm fields are somewhat of a mystery to me as I've only done about a half-dozen of them. An 800 year old coin on the surface makes my mind short-circuit! In juxtaposition I'm used to 300 old undisturbed dirt. Seems to me the great thing about those fields is they keep producing every plowing.
