SAXON PORCUPINE SCEAT

[CRUSADER]

Cru'dad has had 2 short solo outings, today & yesterday on the Site we call 'The Hill'. (4 1/4 hours total)
I wanted him to grid this area of the bottom slope, as I hoped he would get a Sceat. We had found 1 before in this general area & there were some signs of Middle Saxon artefacts including the strap-end he got yesterday. Sceat's are near impossible to target & 1 or so a year is all you can hope for, so this hunch worked out really good. Especially as I'm still recovering from my knee injury, & therefore we are down a man.

Bag Seal City - Day 2 - Hammered & RARE SAXON SCEAT...

There was meant to be heavy thundery showers today so I decided to grid the end nearest the car. This worked out well because not only did the showers miss us a couple of times & the worst came after we left, but the Sceat was found by me about 30 metres from the car in the first 30 mins! (Only...

Although we would be more than happy with 1 Sceat a year, this is now our 2nd, meaning we have had 1 each. (Although mine above was rarer)

UPDATE:

This scarce coin is now recorded with the leading Authority & they commented as follows:

''An excellent example of Series E (variety G1), which I have recorded as EMC 2021.----. There are now 44 coins of this variety on EMC.''

 

[Westfront]

Jep...that's a rare beauty!

Congrats on the top shelf find.
Not quite as pretty as the golden pony coins, but I'm sure s just as nice to find, and own.

Yeap, not as pretty but a much rarer find than the Celtic Gold.

UPDATE:

We are doing our yearly meeting with the landowner of this field on Monday & I have decided to give them this Sceat (I do have a slightly lesser example of this type of G1). This is to off-set some of the better coins I want to keep like the lovely Celtic Gold I had this year!

The Sceat is amazing and the buckles so represent everyday life that they are always a thrill to see
