Silver and gold start to the New Year! 😆

[blossom]

What better way to start the New Year than in a muddy field digging history 😄 xx

We obviously went back to the same field as yesterday looking for that shiny coin Robert eyeballed, alas no coin! So we wandered across the field, following the pottery… lots of Grey ware and iron signals!

Then the magic started… first off I found this lovely Fob Watch medallion, then a medieval coin brooch, harness loop, pretty button, broken fibula purse bar ( I think) strap end, stylus, watch winder, ammo, piece of plate, thimble, lead weight, buttons, Jetton, crusty roman, then my hammered, and last but not least… my gold stater … wow what a start to the year!! 🎉🥳 xx

Oh you know how to win him over don't you.
What a great day out digging, gold and silver to start the year off.
Congratulations on the Stater

• Design:
  • Obverse: A crude vertical wreath motif, often described as an "Apollo-wreath," crossed by a horizontal bar with crescents and a ring of pellets.
  • Reverse: A stylized "lunate" horse facing left. The legend VEP is typically found above the horse and CORF below it. A pellet triad or star is often positioned under the tail.
• Physical Specs: Struck on dish-shaped gold alloy flans with an average weight of approximately 5.14g to 5.40g and a diameter of about 20-21.5mm.

Whew!
That was starting out the year on a high note!
Congrats!

What a field.
What a mix.
Contrasts. Contexts. Classes.
From humble industrious thimble to gold coin. Likely strangers to each other from opposing spectrums.
From people on foot to those on horses. Not so much strangers. But not all rode...
Unarmed to armed. Some of whom would probably rather have been strangers.
Some long gone before firearms arrived on scene , but no strangers to other type arms.

Medallion for the win. (!) It's missing piece hidden . Fallen into clothing and traveling who knows how much farther or just slightly out of recovery spot. Or dragged by farming.

The coin brooch run through a button hole might hold a tie today yet. Or even a flower perhaps.

Can you tell if there was a single or a double attachment that has broken off.
A fob is a good thought as it's seen alot if wear.
DCC has a couple of different meanings.
I'm wondering if the # on the bottom is a lodge #
