These are this afternoons finds. A nice Medieval 13th/14th Century beehive thimble (love finding these) a medieval coin weight (love finding these also). A nice complete Georgian buckle, plus two hammered silver coins. A Charles first penny, and a short cross cut half coin, probably Richard I, 1189-99.
Robert.

I agree Rob there's just something about those simple utilitarian items. I love to find thimbles but 700-800 yrs. old that's ridiculous. Hell I didn't even know they made them that long ago. How about a couple more photos of it?
And the hammered silver, it makes my Spanish pistereens and cobs look like modern pocket change. Amazing finds!
Hello StormSurge, here's some of the Medieval thimbles I've had over the years.:thumbsup:
