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

Re: Old Hammered! Updated with better pics..

Shaun7, buddy over here it's ground conditions over there it's metal conditions it looks like! Man it's hard to imagine all the stuff that has to be in the ground over there. I wish I could pick up England and just SHAKE IT OUT IN MY BACK YARD! Good stuff you guy's have and great times to boot!
Well Done,
TK!

I think somebody has already done that

Jee wiz Shaun, what a difference in a year. I remember what you found last Sept and this beats that for sure. Great improvement! The fragment from an Aethelwulf is neat, old too. Since you are finding more we see more posts from you and that is also great too! Keep searching. If you compare what you have found this year with others, wow!
