Hammered and ale !!!

[robfinds]

Sat in the back garden at home, it's a wonderful warm evening. Sinking a few real ales, feel very chilled after today's finds. Two nice medieval buckles, and a very nice hammered silver groat. Ale and hammered nothing better.

Four great finds! The right buckle is a big beauty and the front facing hammereds are my all time favorites! Good day well worth a couple colds!

Cheers could be Edward IV, maybe Edward 111, I will sort an id out in the week.

I have absolutely no clue what a groat is but it's a beautiful coin. Congratulations on it and the buckles.

I was glad Dad pulled the Charley Penny today, a groat is an excellent result, great job.

Whoa! My 11th great-grandfather, William Hulbert D.D. was Chamberlain to King Edward VI.

A most excellent find. Nicely centered.

Awesome coin for sure..

I'm thinking a groat was equivalent to four pence - is that about right ?- my understanding of this only dates to Queen Victoria . I
would love to know what a groat would purchase at the time yours was minted - A pig or two ? Several large jugs of ale ?!!!!

Yes four pence, probably would pay for a very good night out, with change
