Medieval Seal

[robfinds]

Yesterday's hunt produced three more hammered silver coins. A broken Eddie penny, an Elizabeth I three pence 1575. Best of the hammered was a scarce Edward I, half penny of the Berwick on tweed mint. The session ended well, with a 13th century lead personal seal matrix. No idea what the seal say's, still a great find. Robert.

Thanks trapperart, the season though is drawing to a close. Soon it will be coin shooting, in woods, parks and pasture fields. Ready for a break to be honest, been putting a lot of hours in , saving all those hammered.

This field is really killer. Looks like the string of hammereds will never end. I would keep it for a rainy day. Everytime when you're a bit disappointed of other sites you can go over there and dig a little silver!

Hello Westfront, it's not just one field, it's several very good medieval sites. I have only known one single field site, that 20 years ago was prolific for hammered. When I say prolific, I mean prolific, a late Saxon Norman market site in Lincolnshire. Best result on it, 13 hammered in one afternoon, four of them cut Saxon.
