DAY 12 - ROMAN & MEDIEVAL

The farmer has done the final flattening of the soil before he seeds tomorrow. Perfect conditions. Although it was freezing cold with wind & rain. Doesn't stop the A team. I detected to day after a couple of days rest.

I seemed to get the Roman & my Dad the Medieval.

5 scrappies to me, 1 to Dad.

Roman Female deity Pin head. First for us. Had Roman Pins but none as decorative as this.

Dad had 2 Medieval Horse Pendants :o & the Qrter Hammered Silver

He also had a rare lead token called a shycock token. Has a picture of a cockerel tied to a stake with stones being thrown at it. These lead tokens were thrown by boys at a bird shaped target for a game. In medieval times they used a real bird & stoned it to death.

Great day & only maybe a day to go??

Re: DAY 12 - ROMAN & MEDIEVAL

As usual you have some great finds. I am glad it is you and your Dad doing the detecting, it makes for great partneres.
Was it common to cut a coin into pieces ??? I have noticed quite a few coins with a segment cut out of it, or like your, the actual segment. I wonder if it is a case of "I dont have a 1/2 dollar so let me cut this dollar in half" so to speak.....

Great job, keep it up and let Dad know that we love his finds also ;)

God bless

It was in Britain between 1100-1600. Penny was offen cut in half to make a halfpenny & half again for a farthing. It was the weight & purity of the silver or gold not the coin that was important.
