More Silver Today

shaun7 · Nov 13, 2011

Got another invite up to help Cru on some vast fields(thanks mate :thumbsup:

). They didn't want to give up too much, but I did get a nice silver spoon from around 1800 with the owners initials on it. It's a bit bent up, but should straighten out ok. Shortly after that I dug another bit of silver, a hammered coin of either James 1st or Elizabeth 1st

. I also got a tiny Tudor clothes fastener which after cleaning shows some silver gilt.

I also got a medieval knife terminal in the shape of a horses hoof.

Looks good for a near 500 year old lady! :icon_thumleft:

If it is Elizabeth... Shame its broken.

CRUSADER · Nov 13, 2011

Pretty sure now that its an 1800 (on the dot) hallmark :headbang:

You forgot the nice little Medieval Knife Terminal (shaped as a horse foot) - that's a find :hello2:

I was just putting a few items away & had a look at the Terminals, it seems to be the most popular in this area, as I have 4 versions like yours & the next most popular is 3. My fav & only 1 is the beast head below, strangely the first one I ever had of any type :icon_thumright:

I like them, but they are not appreciated from a monetary view.
