My first Hammered Silver - Yippee

[DavidBeard]

Hi All.
I just took Mr. Wolf out for his last outing as boss as the E-trac will be arriving soon. Only out for about 45 minutes finding just 1 coin and 1 button (and a bit of trash) - but could this be my first 'Hammered'?
I'm thinking maybe Edward VI 1550/53 Base Penny - Positive ID most appreciated but it is quite smooth.
Here's the pic:



Best wishes,
David.

I could have predicted this as your first

Elizabeth I Halfgroat - London Mint. No mint mark visible but the date range for the '2 pellet behind bust' is 1582-1602

WELCOME TO THE CLUB

Was this in grassland?

Was this in grassland?

No, This was on a wheat field - still in stubble. I was just checking if they'd ploughed and set it yet - but they've only just removed the bails. Got a few more days yet so will try the E-trac on it - should arrive tomorrow.

I thought so, but didn't want to say!

Funny thing about the last Lobo outing, like it knows

Like any machine it will take time to learn. However plenty of US Tneters can give advice. Also when you master it in a years time, I will come to you for advice.

In all honesty, it will mean a lot of deeper junk which could waste time & p*ss you off. But you need to dig it to learn. However good the detector, the deeper the target the less the machine can reconise what it is.

welcome back & thanks for putting it in perspective, they are hard too find. Sometimes I make it look a little easy but they are one of my hardest earnt finds.

Yes Crusader - Your many posts make it look very easy (great posts & great finds) but I think you've acquired some great sites over the years to work on and that's what makes a difference - I'm still working on my sites - Still locally at moment but hoping to spread my wings a little further shortly.

Exactly, its taken me years & searching many different farms with many fields to hunt down the right areas. Hopefully, your local ones will have a gem or two. I much prefer my local history it means more to me (even though I have only lived here 12 years or so).

Funny lots of people ask me that, not sure why

if you have the right sites then they are there but as you say they are hard to find.
i just try to get fields as close to the village churches as i can.
