Phineas & Thomas

Managed to grab a few hours searching this afternoon, and the weather was great. Had a few finds, and most pleasing of all one was a 17th Century traders token (one of my favourite type of finds). The token is classed as of uncertain place of issue, perhaps Yorkshire in Dickinson's. Well this one did come up from the soil of South Yorkshire. The token was issued by Phineas Lambe and Thomas hardwick, and is dated 1666. I've started to gently clean it and it seems to be comming up well. The other two finds are a very clipped medieval hammered silver penny, and a cute hand made button 17th/18th Century.

Robert.

You have mentioned in the past how you like these, and its a great credit to you that you appreciated the social & individual history of these rare(ish) finds. Always nice to find them in sure amazing condition, very done for saving another of our less appreciated pieces (in terms of values). 8) 8) Look forward to your next one

Cheers Cru,

No worries, its rare these get the credit they are due. Good eye
