Large Hammered Silver...Now straightened!

[shaun7]

Hammered picked me up this morning and we went to a farm I was doing earlier on in the year. For the first hour or so I thought it was going to be a repeat of last week with Cru

I moved into another field and my first signal was a Lizzy Sixpence 1561. My first big hammered coin

Not too many other finds, but a big surprise when I dug half of a Roman coin. This would have been even bigger than the Sixpence

I was thinking of putting it under the wheel of my car and slowly releasing the hand brake

Re: Large Hammered Silver

That thin Lizzy looks to have some nice detail, maybe worth having it professionally straightened? HH and congrats, Mike
