Sometimes no matter how good the soil is finds come up as shadows of their former selves. This find for example is a 17Th Century trading token . It was issued by Thomas Wortley grocer of Doncaster in the year 1666. Got to admit these 17Th Century tokens are one of my favourite type of finds.

Anything old is good.............Nice find.......... :thumbsup:
 
As you know, I'm helping out a publisher do a book on Huntingdonshire & Cambridgeshire types. I quite like finding them as well, but they normally look like yours or worse.

Do you have the £75 book on them?

Hi Crusader, the book I've got is Seventeenth Century Tokens of the British Isles and their values by Michael Dickinson.
