Did the outskirts of a roman villa site and came up with some nice finds. Weather wasn't that nice. Snow coming horizontally...
Better finds were a dagger chape, bronze bracelet and the tiny hammered, IDed as BELGIUM, Brussels, Anonymous Local Coinage. 1235-1280. AR Denier (.53) . Windmill type Cross of Brabent/Bridge or gangplank.
The most funny find was the modern (20thC) nutcracker with viking motif.

Congrats on what looks like a brutal but successful hunt.
 
I can see the windmill now! Glad you got an ID & its a really early one as well!

A good day I thinks.....

Thanks Cru! This one saved the day. You know we don't stumble over hammereds often in our area. And this seems to be a rare one too! :hello2:
 
Very nice silver you got yourself today, looks like the conditions was a little snowy.
 
Now that's a hammered silver which I have not seen one of before! Congratulations on this great coin and all your other finds!
