Servants and pennies

[robfinds]

These are today's finds. At the top of the picture is a solid piece of bronze, function who knows. Next a worn late medieval jeton, a copper penny of George V, looks like 1926. Also what looks like maybe a buckle, had plenty of these things before ( not sure they are buckles though). Once again another 17th/18th century nipple button. Then a livery button 18th/19th century. These were worn by servants such as coachmen employed by gentry. The device on the button is very nice. And another short cross hammered silver penny, late 12th/ early 13th century. The coin is well worn, and must have passed through a lot of hands. Robert.

Maybe a copper bead for a necklace, it could be quite old, it is hard to tell fro the picture.

Your hammered run continues....

Hello Cru, cheers, yes still hitting hammered coins. Thinking about getting a bigger coil for the Deus. Wonder if Regtons will do a px, with my standard coil.

Do you mean the 11"? That's all I use now. Not sure what a px is?

Yes the 11" one. px stands for part exchange Cru.

Excellent finds Rob. This nipple buttons - when do those date to approximately? I ask because I don't believe I hear of any dug on my side of the pond.

Cheers

Hello Scrappy, been told they date late 17th/ early 18th Century. I also posted one the other week (there fairly common). A guy from your side of the pond said, he'd just found one. Robert.

A whole bunch of sweet finds.
I may find a nipple button someday, but it is highly improbable to find a hammered silver penny on this side of the creek.
Congrats on your finds.
