After the slow sunday last week i went to a new site i never detected. It's a roman homestead with massive amounts of tiles and pottery. Other than nails not much roman stuff turned up.
Medieval silver saved the day! And it travelled some miles only to get lost in a German field....
Got some Roman and medieval pottery, the dark piece in the middle matches an urn (Museum Replica) i have. Lead shows the spot is right, Half Groat Henry VI, roman hairpin and bronze nail, silver shoebuckle part, medieval mount of some sort, only one button, coins and a nice red stone..

Bloody hell Cru, you must have the eyes of an hawk :laughing7:. Got to admit though, I may have to get some glasses this year:sadsmiley:

Agree, he's better with the pics than i am with the coin in my hand.... And thats with glasses. At least i still see the difference between a Denarius and a Bronze without. :laughing9:
 

What a beautiful hammered silver!

Congratulations!
 

Thanks Buck! I'm very pleased with this one. They don't come in this condition very often.

True Westfront, I can read a news paper four feet away, but not one foot away. Getting older is great :laughing7:

You think it the eyes??? I thought my arms are getting shorter.... I'll get me a cell phone for seniors next. :laughing9:
 

That's a fantastic looking Hammy Westfront, lots of detail left on it. One day I have to get back over to Europe with a detector, I would love to find something like that.
Congrats,
ZDD
