Exploring New Land..........

[CRUSADER]

Spent 2.5 hours & explored 5 new fields. They are massive but the signs are not good, with little lead & no real features or pottery!

Broken hammered of:

EDWARD IV
Half Groat
1464-70
Light Coinage
Quartrefoils by neck

Long Cross
CIVITAS CANTOR
Canterbury Mint


The oil cap says it all........

Looks fine to me.

Any day I can dig a 500+ year old coin is a good one.

Add the oil cap and the yellow car and it's a great one.

I'm sure 2.5 hours on 5 new fields does not tell the whole story. I look forward to the rest of the finds from the New Land.

I'd spend 2.5 hours to find a hammered silver anyday--and I'd grid the heck out of those fields.

Nice work.

Don't usually see toys in your posts.
Nice coin.

You had a good day, indeed, sir!

Go find that Roman gold cache now!

Well found on the hammered, still waiting for the crops to come out locally. Moister content in the grain is still up in the 26% region, could be a disaster for grain prices?

The point of exporing was to find which field to grid. None of them are a priority for this year.

Hope you find a better field but that silver is not bad. Was it found in 2 pieces or did it break?

Nice work!!!!

It was folder total in half & was hanging on for dear life (by about 2mm). I broken it to find out a full ID. Its rare that I damage items, as it would normal make me pyshically ill.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

To be fair you don't understand UK detecting. These fields are a waste of precious time, we did indeed grid the area where the coin came from with not even a scrap iron nail.

So, right you are Crusader What you consider huge or massive and old or ancient would be considered the reverse, compared to some places. So what will it be the class known as commoners searching for treasure in the 1830.s like the Thamas Mud Larks or the sewage pipe cleaners.Access to private land by public ways.A point of history, research Md method orType of Md.I assure you there are plenty of members who might give you a few hints.

You are right most of UK Treasure is found by builders, dredgers, canal workers, navies. Far more than by Archaeologists. However you forget that a large % of them found these treasures not by searching for them but by accident.

There are plenty of members who could give me hints & I'm willing to listen but I rarely hear anything encouraging or useful from that guy tinpan How much of your time is spent helping others on here? Do you spend a good portion of your time on here helping IDing stuff? or do you just........

Looks like a great hunt to me. Those fields would become swiss cheese, but with the holes filled back in. So tear it up.
