Lean Times Again

[Silver Searcher]

Well over the past month or so I have posted very little the odd time I have got out has been hampered, either by lack of new fields, or bad weather so the bits and bobs I have managed to find I have saved to make up a post

The first picture shows a tiny Silver coin it's a Venice Hammered Soldino AD1500s (a first for me) I have seen these found before, but this is my first ..... issue of Venice by Doge Laurendan 1501-1521AD. I have had to soak this coin in Lemon Juice for nearly two weeks to get some detail out .

I also found a unusuall whatsit from one of my Saxon sites, that I am still waiting for a ID on :P can't make up my mind if the piece depicts animal heads either end but it looks as if there once was something in each end that might have been eyes, perhaps enamelled

The Roman Bronze coin has some decent detail still remaining :P another one I will have to look up looks 4th century and a nice Livery button which I don't find many off, so I was well pleased with this

Last but not least my best Saxon Styca(base penny) of Osberht....... Kings of Northumbria Circa 848-867 with Moneyer Winiberht

Outstanding finds SS, I like that Saxon coin, dream coin for me, LOL! I hope to find a silver Soldino someday to go with my Gold Venice Dukat, my avatar, it's from Doge Marino Grimani, 1595-1605. Nice finds and HH, Mike
