Charles1 Hammered...A Cracker.

[Silver Searcher]

Well at last managed to finally get out and hunt a new field had become available, we have been waiting to hunt this field, as it is opposite to were Michael found the George1V Gold Coin

This field has a small Church in one corner near a cross road, and that's were I decided to head for I knew there would be a short cut across the Field, as the road runs right around the outside, the Farmer had told us this field had never been detected, so our hopes were high

There quite a few signals to start with, the usuall..lead, buttons,etc. After about a hour I decided to move to were I thought the right of way might start, I soon started to find the copper coins, early 1900s at first, then a few older Georgie's, towards the bottom of the run I received a very strong signal, I popped the earth and started to sift the dirt..bingo a grey disc appeared and I new I was staring at my first Hammered of the new campaign A cracking Charles1 Silver Three Pence, full flan and unclipped, with some very strong detail

I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story, I managed another Hammered , cut half s/cross, and a whatsit I think might be a decorated candle snuffer have a look anyway

Could be I guess

I don't think it's a hinge but rather were the blade was attachment for the sharpener

Now that's a sweet looking hammered, great shape. The others look in fine shape also, thinking a gold off there would be spectacular!

I'm pretty sure that its going to produce some much better finds. Not sure about a Gold though, you need to dream them up, hard to predict where & when. But I hope your right & I'm wrong.

Definitely a pencil sharpener, there would be a metal or plastic cap to fit over the tapered end to catch the shavings.

(congrats on some very nice finds b.t.w. )

Only a few times this summer due to the unbearable heat. I have actually gotten up in the morning at 1am several times to get dressed and drive to meet a buddy and detect at night with headlamps (with the owner's permission) until about 8:30 am when it gets up in the 90s Fahrenheit. That's been the only way to get any decent time digging. 30-45 minutes in hundred degree temperatures usually does me in... And here in the U.S. it is all about finding the site--which by itself could take an hour or two. Only then does the real hunting begin. So in short, the finds have been decent, and I have gotten a few nice bits--but nothing much worth posting.

Another factor is that I moved away from where I was living, and I'm now many hours away from there--so all the research, sites, etc. are in my buddies hands at this point. I am only living here for one more week, then moving again many more hours away. So I didn't get very entrenched with research while I was here. But I will try once or twice more for a few nice bits to post. And in the fall I'll be ready for harvest in my new home. 8)

I want to thank you again for the great photos. That one of Old Charlie in the dirt I saved to a folder on my computer so I can take a gander at it again. That's a beauty of a coin.


Best Wishes,


Buckles
