Roman Lion's Neighbour Site - Day 2+3...Wish Lister...

[CRUSADER]

This post is Mondays & today's combined, I gridded for close to 11 hours & Cru'dad did close to 6 hours. This site is a new one for us this year, although it has been done by the resident detectorist, but he did missed Cru'Dad's extremely rare Celtic mount.
Probably not much of the area left to do, but we will make sure next time.

39 Roman Coins
Tudor Button
Crotal Bell
Tudor Clothes Fastener
Tudor Knife Terminal
Medieval Purse Bar Loop
Roman? Strap End
Neolithic Flint
Irish Penny, Ed I circa 1300, Waterford Mint. First complete one & great example which I found today along with;
Wish List Coin - Spanish Silver - 1/2 Reale of Ferdinand and Isabella, c.1469-1502. (Not a great example, so I'm now changing my wish list to a later Cob.)

Cru,
You wrote: "Yes, other than I'm not 100% on it's denomination."
The denomination can be determined by weight.
Eight reales (8R) coins originally weighed 27.468 grams; proportionately less for lower denominations.
If your coin weighs 1.716 grams or less, it's more than likely a 1/2R.
If it weighs over 1.716 grams, it is not a 1/2R.
I'll bet you are right with your attribution.
Don.....

That's how I figured it out, it was 0.97g but very worn.

Great finds as usual. So now that a cob is off the wish-list, and it's too early, you're replacing it with a newer cob?!

I like your style Cru!

Cheers

Yeap, I want a big chunky 8.

Congrats on your first Spanish silver Cru! That is an early one, the likes of which we won't see around here.

Christopher Columbus could have once owned that Spanish 1/2 Reale!

I still marvel at all your scrappies. Nice post, as per usual.
