Day 23 - Big Grass Field.....UPDATED

[CRUSADER]

The snow had melted & left us some nice sticky clay, however the weather was alot kinder with just a chilly moderate wind.

Did another 3 hours (6 man hours).

Please to report a nice hammered was found by me & a scrappy roman.

Might be Henry V - 1413-1422 (needs more research, difficult as the letters & mintmark are not visible)

Definately a Halfpenny which are difficult & quite rare to find.



UPDATED;

Confirmed as a Henry V Halfpenny. This is only my second Henry V hammered & my first halfpenny

Dang ! Thats a tiny coin !!

How deep was it ??

D.

The soil was newly turned (end of last year) to encourage new hay/grass growth. Therefore it was less than 1inch deep.

did you see Saturday This is the one field where I can only HOPE & not expect something cool. But I guess its all relative

'Knowing' comes with the good fields at harvest, rock on the good times
