Thanks to Cru'dad's 2 day scouting mission on a monster 300+ acre field we knew where to concentrate our efforts. We packed our lunches & made a day of it, spent about 7.5 hours on the field.
We were hoping for the odd hammered coin but Dad started with a Cut Quarter which I think is Scottish, then a cut half of King John, later a grotty hammered & finally a Edward IV 1464-70 Archb. Neville of York (we need this one). I was getting my butt kicked my my old friend the Cortes, 4 hammered to 0 (taking our yearly totals to 7, Dad & 9 for me). As it came towards the end of the day I wondered what my XP was upto, when I hit the Roman Silver
Vespasian - Rome AD75
Pax seated left
Other bits included:
17th century token
Jetton
16-17th century spur buckle
Roman Brooch
1 scappy roman coin
etc...
An excellent hunt for a new & massive field.
UPDATED:
The cut qrter is rare & is the earliest type of Scottish hammered!
William the Lion
Scottish Cut Qrter
