HAMMERED DAY...

[CRUSADER]

Still solo hunting in lovely weather
Spent 3.5 hours finishing the last corner of the field. The grass was slightly shorter in this area. I couldn't believe I got the 5 hammered I need to hit 100 this year
Also started a new area for 1 hour & had a Clog Clasp & Spectacle Buckle. (wandered for 30 minutes, making a 5 hour total hunt)
Plus:
17th C Token
Royal Farthing
Jetton
1.5 Lead Tokens
3 Roman Coins
Tudor Clothes Fastener
13th C Ring Brooch (no pin)

2x Edward I, Penny, 1279-1302 (Canterbury Mint)
Henry III, Cut halfpenny, 1247-72
Richard I ?, 1189-99, Cut Halfpenny (still checking ID, this would be my first & very rare)
Alexander III, Scottish Cut Halfpenny, 1250-80
What a day It nearly doubles my hammered count off this field (which includes several years worth of hunting)

Wow - that's quite a load of early silver!! Awesome hunt and a great way to end 2011. Good luck to you next year.

Nice one Cru . Is the thimble ally or silver, I can't tell?. Good one on the hammereds, the cut halves and quarters were also made at the mint so that they were uniform. I'll check in my books for when this became common policy, H3 from memory. I love the Richard 1 and the Scotty, I have only found one Richard penny. Shaun says "well done you jammy dodger"

Keep it up mate


hammered

So, you think I hear a sweet tone, look down see an ally Thimble on top, break my stride & get out the camera

I know they cut them at the Mint, but I thought this was more common with the Scottish Mints, however, I would not be surprised if other English mints did it as well

Say 'Hi' to Shaun7, & yes I was in jammydodgervill

After finding all those hammereds, you probably didn't notice a silver thimble plus, YOU didn't say what it was, probably had silver fever by then . shuan says you have to prove your luck by finding more tomorrow


Not my words

Crusader, You've got three long days left in the year, surely you can end with 105. Anyone can get 100. LOL. Excellant work my friend.

[Nutriasub]

Your corner sounds like those "hunted out" fields, just think nothing is gonna come out, and the bag is full at the end of the day....

Congratulations big time on an amazing day, and on the 100 hammered! That it's a huge number!!

I love the thimble too

What a great hunt. Along with the coins, I'm partial to those thimbles, sweet! Hope next year brings you many more treasures. HH!

The area I'm starting today (although did 1 hour yesterday) is going to be hard work with just 1 player, that's one of the reasons we needed Shaun7 to help hunt it, I pretty sure I'm going to have a much smaller collection today :P

Thanks for all the positive comments

What's a Hammered

Five in a day is great going, and a bonus Scottish, my favourite a very nice late Christmas present A good days detecting I would say

The cut half if it's Richard, looks to be of the Moneyer Willelm, there are a few Mints it could be.

Thanks, welcome back

The Scottish one, I'm still trying to get an ID on the moneyer & mint.

The shortcross is WILLELM but as you say can be lots of mints & Kings. But the Head style is not that of H3, I think & John doesn't fit well either. I will keep trying
