North Yorkshire

[robfinds]

Hi all, My mate Steve phoned this morning asking if I wanted to go detecting with him to a site in North Yorkshire. The site was on the side of a hill and the wind was constant and cold. We had a few finds between us, Steve had a nice short cross penny and a large square medieval pendant. These are the pictures of my finds. All of the silver coins are fragments,the one on the left is Elizabeth 1 penny,in the middle is part of a Roman silver,don't know what the other one is. Had a few buckles one Georgian and two medieval, some Georgian worn coppers a, Tudor dress fastener,an acorn shaped leather stud poss medieval, a lead loom weight late med?,and a nice Medieval thimble. Also had a lead disc with a central design that could be a horse with letters around the outside. I can't make any sense of the letters and I don't know it's age, but it does look interesting.

Hello Robert: Nice finds you got there even if in "part." I find that such items are more interesting to me than the stuff found on our side of the pond. Sure, we here get thrills finding stuff dated as late as 1964 when silver coins ended and some detectorists find coins dated to the 1700s and some rare finds from the 1600s. But the stuff you find dating to Roman times just has to be downright awesome. Of course, you could say that they are normal to you and may not be so exciting.

I have considered on a couple of ocassions joining one of those tours that bring a group (of Americans, and others) to some farmer's tilled or untilled field and almost everyone comes back with some real oldie although with the money spent on the tour one could buy those and older coins here and save money. But the thrill of unearthing a Roman coin, as an example can't be beat.

I guess if you visited the "colonies" and detected here you wouldn't be as thrilled as detecting in North Yorkshire.

Good to see your finds, it keeps me humble.

Dear Silver Fox, If you can come over to detect you will enjoy it. In England we do tend to take finds for granted which is sad, but I suppose it's human nature. We regard Georgian coins as modern finds and they are certainly plentyfull. I had a few finds today but none of them got my heart beating, the lead disc is interesting but nothing more. So in a way you on your side of the pond get more pleasure from detecting because any old find is a bonus. Regards Robert

Yorkshire is famous for pudding just like Bill Cosby.

Does Yorkshire have an honorary PhD.?

Yorkshire puddings will be eaten today with Sunday lunch soaked in gravy yum yum. I won't bore you with the things and people Yorkshire is famous for, but trust me it's very long. What's the Bill Cosby link ?.

as i read that i was eating my yorkshire puddings soaked in gravy and i havn`t got a phd!
is this something i should look into??

 

[CRUSADER]

Nice bunch of finds.

The lead disc is almost definately some form of Token. It is typical that a cancelled token would have a square nail punch through the centre. I learnt this from a friend doing research on lead & 17th century token (soon to published).

I hunting down here is a bag of .... at the moment :P

Hello Crusader nice to hear from you. Ploughed land up here is now very scarce,that's why I went up North Yorkshire. In a few weeks though all of the ploughed land should be set, scratching around on pasture then. I usually put the machine away for a couple of months at this time of year and do other things like fishing. Got talking to two old guys shooting pigeons the other day and they gave me a couple. About to see what pigeon curry tastes like !. Who's doing the token book Ted Fletcher ?.

This past Christmas I made a standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding, something I have always wanted to try. I have to say, now it is my favorite food. But, I really like it for breakfast with some powdered sugar on it. When I get rich I am going to move to the English countryside.

Hello,put butter and sugar on the puddings and think of England.
