Fave field delivers again- hammereds and a key

[hammered]

I went to my fave field for 3 hours this afternoon, I would have done more but the low battery warning tone started going off on the Xp, and I'd left my spares at home. Never mind, I did quite well today, and there is always tomorrow . At least the hammereds have started coming in again, and I found my second old key, 13th to 14th century casket key according to the UKDFD. I will post the link when they let me know. I also found a George 5th 1911 farthing with bits removed to make a medallion, a first for me. I can't wait until the field is ploughed, detecting on stubble is a real pain . Here are the pics

A button from "Queen Annes Mansion". A residential building in London, at one time one of the tallest in London


One side of the key


The other side of the key


Some of the other bits and bobs


Finally the hammereds. The one on the right is a cut half "short cross". I haven't identified the other two yet

Hi Colin, I'm going to have to get a book on keys I think. Ukdfd just came back and said OK to upload and the date range was 13th to 14th century. Some of the keys, like the one you found are obvious antiquities, some, in my opinion defy dating in the same way ie. they could be any age

Oops , sorry Colin. But you are right, I do kind of like it though. Something a little bit different, for me anyway.

Ian can you confirm, on the reverse of the small round half penny, is that a star on the inner bearded circle

Looks like it to me!

I hope you did, the hammered handstand 3 in a day is proof of why its your fav

I may need to travel for my next hammered, its all downhill Roman from now until harvest

Looking at it through a loop, it does look like a star. First time I've seen a star in a beaded circle, unless it's damage of somesort from being in the ground

Wow!!!

That will nail the ID if it is a Star, I don't have my books, and to be honest I have not seen that before

Hi Cru, 3 hammereds in a day is a rare thing at the mo', at least for me. We'll see what this field holds after ploughing, I'll have to have a chat with the farmer and see if he will plough it a bit sooner to give me a bit longer on it
