This mornin I found a small hoard of medieval coins (5 in total, all stuck together), dating around 1250-1270 AD.
Pic 1 shows the coins in the state of not being cleaned, the others show the first cleaned coins

OMG, that is so cool. They're silver obviously. I've found a grand total of 5 so far, and I have not been able to ID any of them yet. I hope you have better luck on the ID than I had. Anyway, great find, congrats!
 
Bracteates, awesome finds Folkert! I am jealous, LOL. HH and a big congrats, Mike
 
Never found a Medieval hoard. Its on my wish list. I may have found a couple of spreads of Roman Bronze but no silver hoards of any description.

EXCELLENT FIND :)
 
Fantastic coins!! That would be the thrill of a life time.
 
You Europeans have all the luck! Awesome finds...we'd never find anything that old here in the states! Keep up the good work! ;D
 
AWESOME!!! Folkert. That's got to be the best finding something that old. Can only dream about that back here in the states.

I just wish I could use the words Medieval and hoard to describe something I found ;D


Incredible finds, congrats.
 
a great find ....
 
Wow, that is an awesome find. I've never even seen coins like that. I would be happy to find one much less five.

Hi folkert.
What a great find!
Can't ID, I've never seen a coin like it.

Congrats Dave.
 
Awsome finds folkert... Thanks for sharing as those coins are very few and very far between here in the states ;)
 
Thanks to all of you for your very nice comments on this very special find. Though it was not my first hoard, it is for sure one of my best finds in more than 2o years detecting.
 
Fantastic finds Folkert...and we think early 1900 coins are great here..HH and find some more.
