Old Hammered! New Info....

[shaun7]

I went with Cru today to join Hammered on his fav field! Thanks Hammered

Loads of digging


New info> I finally recorded the Saxon fragment and have just found out it's only one of 3 known of this type and the first one
recorded, so today...I'm very happy

Aethelwulf of Wessex's Dorib, c type from Rochester mint, Moneyer is ethelhere.

















Among other bits I got 3 Roman coins, a tiny silver Maundy 1d and a fragment of either a Saxon or Norman Hammered
coin, either way a first for me and a find I'm well pleased with

Update..The hammered fragment is of Aethulwulf 839-858. King of Essex 8)

I've also added a picture of a ring I found! I thought it was just a bit of wire stuck inside some mud

Hi shaun,
I have just posted on Cru's finds saying that i couldn't wait to see your finds all cleaned up, but you beat me to it. As I said to Cru you were both welcome and I glad you both got some great finds. All together 6 hammereds came out of that field today, that makes about 15 in the last 2 weeks . I will just have to go out again Monday and see if I can add some more before the farmer plants the next crop. Oh and by the way a little less of "Old" .

Have a look at Aethulwulf no: 1049, It's an exact match

On the field today I too thought it was a William 1, but having looked in Spinks, with your ref No. I think I agree with with you but a better photo would help.(I never thought I would be saying that )

Nice find, but if you come to the U.S.A. you can find some coins like this that are not all broke up.

I have a lot of American relatives and from an early age, what with them coming over for hols, I really love American coins. Compaired to the coins from when I was growing up (very late 60's shaun) they had so much more character and substance. Because of this I have a small collection that I really cherish. As my American Uncle always says " Knock the USA you had better have broad shoulders, fast legs and a bullet proof ass".
