Final End of Year Push...

CRUSADER · Dec 27, 2011

I got back from a hard few days graft with my Bro, I was a little knacked to get up early today, but managed 3.5 hours on my own (Dad is away) in the long grass stubble field which I need to finish off.

I did much better than I expected, as its the less productive area of the field.

3 Scrappy Roman Coins
1 Lead Token
1806 Penny (I get lots of halfpennies of this date but not many Pennies)
Jetton
17th C Token
4000BC Neolithic Flints

Hammered of Edward I circa 1280s :headbang:

Plus a strange little 1st C AD Ring top with incised Green Enamel (it's a little crude for Roman but I'm unsure that it really fits any other period) :icon_scratch:

.It's always good to get a hammered, but I do like the George penny, it looks to be in pretty good shape :thumbsup:

The top of the ring is big enough for an Roman adult ring, however it's not a normal type that I have seen. It's hard to see in the picture but it once had a raised applied silver decoration around the top edge (you can just see a bit in the bottom right). This means the seal would not have been flush to a surface when making an imprint. :dontknow:
