I did some research some time ago & asked my newbie friend to look into it. He came back with permission & today told me the Wheat had been harvested. He could not make it, but Dad & I went out for 2 hours.

We had never done this field, so we tracked down the lead :wink: After finding it, we just did the tracks as the stubble was terrible. Dad had 3 roman coins before I had another find of a lifetime!

Celtic Gold Stater:
South Ferriby Type 45-10BC
- My oldest coin (Dad has one Roman Silver from 48BC), so not the teams oldest ::)

Horse with six sided star.
Obverse die of Apollo which has been used until completely obliterated, & the books quote 'some show almost plain obverse' - which this is!

3rd Gold Coin of the Year - Words are now difficult to explain the year I'm having :o

Also a Todur Book Clasp
1723 Irish Halfpenny - looks good when wet, can read it all - not had this date
4 Roman Coins
Bronze Slag
Very Large Victorian Fire surround - I think :dontknow: Big enough to think the site has not been hit to hard, if at all!

Very good :wink:

Funny thing is we had NO buttons at all :icon_scratch:
 

Re: My Oldest Coin EVER!

That is a great dig. :headbang: I would have felt guilty though since the guy is a newbie and he couldn't attend...considering he secured permission. :dontknow:

Is there room on the Banner? :laughing9: :headbang:

It was even more cruddy until I cleaned it. I believe it was somewhat copper debased as it is a little under weight, not quite enough for a copper core, I believe :thumbsup:

Yeap, I did feel guilty (I phoned & told him, he was very pleased for me though, unlike Shaun7 who wants to kill me :laughing7: ). He had a little try yesterday & we will go together next time soon, after this weekend.

What's the diameter, should be between 18-22mm, if yours is smaller this will count for the weight :read2:
