Newest coin find - dated circa 1280-81

[hodge]

My first ever 'hammered' coin, a Penny from the reign of Edward 1st. Hammered (minted) in 1280-81. 18mm of silver. Even though these are fairly common in the UK, this is the first one that I've found since I started detecting in October '08.
Just had to post it!

Nice potrait, shame about the damage. But 1 in your first 1 year is a good start, they are not all that easy to find, but you will get many more

Hi and well done hodge .
I was lucky when I found my first hammered. A couple of experienced detecorists were on the same field and they gave me some tips and showed me what they had found that day. Literally my next find was a very small hammered. To be quite honest the first one is always the most difficult, lets hope you are on a roll.
