Well finished the Charles forgery field. Very few signals, so I went back to the area I'd already covered. Just shows how much you can miss. in amongst my foot prints this. My first hammered silver coin of king David of Scotland. Time for a beer, or two. Robert.

Wow that's a beauty
Congrats
 
Very very nice Rob! We're those coins debased extensively or did the ground just give it a dark appearance?

Good question Scrappy, I think it's probably the way it's gone in the ground. Although I'm no expert on medieval Scottish coins. Robert.
 
Dang, so much hammered in the posts lately, incredible finds. Do you know about what year it is? It's a real beauty.
 
Just cleaned it. Won't win no beauty contests, but pleased with it. Robert.

Congrats! :occasion14:
Scored at the end of the day with a keeper!
Makes it all worth it.
 
Congrats on your first King Dave, I'd be happy with that!

This is thought to be the Edinburgh Mint, 2nd issue 1333-57.
 
Thanks J.Cache, happy with it, David's don't come up that often. Robert.
Only got 1 halfgroat of David II.
CONGRATS on a first.
