saturdays finds

[oldbenny]

out and about on Saturday , in Yeovil area (south west England) only two finds after 8 hours but better than nothing at all a 1797 george3rd cartwheel penny and I think a coin weight not sure of the date maybe someone can tell me only a kings head on the front nothing on the back anyone help

Great looking cartwheel! Crusader or one of several others on here can probably ID your coin weight, although a size reference might help. Great hunt.

NICE FINDS !!

 

[CRUSADER]

The 1797 is much better than average, I assume a pasture field? Or sandy soil.

The coin weight is not in my book but it looks an early one, reminds me of Henry VI??

 

[oldbenny]

yes pasture land with a good old church dating back to 1630 and a footpath right through the land where these came from loads of George 3 grots and buckles etc been there loads of times always come away with some thing

Thats too early for a coin weight of that size, no gold coins of that weigh around.
