Here's a shot of all my 1500s sixpences
Someone asked me to post them all, so here they are. They include the following dates (as best as I can tell): 156?, 1563, 1567, 1569, 1570, 1573, 1587 (the latest one), and 1594. The obverse side of Lizzies tend to wear quickly so I'm just showing that side for one of the coins that has the best look. Other than the most recent find, the other 7 came from one small site and were part of the 2 scattered caches I dug there. I believe my total hammered silver count is now 22, and all were dug in Va soil. I believe 19 came from that one site (along with 7 or 8 others dug by my friends), and the other 3 came from 3 separate sites in various parts of the Tidewater. I only found 2 hammereds in the first 10-12 years of serious colonial hunting, but 20 more in the last 3 years. I'm liking that trend.
