Slow day

[shaun7]

Hello all, I did about five hours today with very little to show. So I was quite pleased to get a knackered hammered in the last hour. Then on the way back to the car I got the best find

I think it's an Edward 1st Penny 1272-1307

 

[Silver Searcher]

Yep....Edward 1st london mint, and a nice one at that mate

Cheers mate, I had to bend it back a little

It's nice to get them unclipped probably lost not long after striking, which incidentally has been done on a worn die....hence the cross showing through the obverse

Nice one shaun , you've done better than I have recently .

Oh! So that's why you can see that on some of them

I think this is my first unclipped hammered

hammered

I ended up on the mill field out of desperation, but it seemed like the "harrowing" had brought bits up

You never noramlly do, you just hope for the best & leave your machine on (1 of my golden rules) & if you like me you go twice as fast & therefore should miss everything

I was heading toward the car, but remembered my carrier bag with new batteries and water in so I went right a bit.

It's now my lucky carrier bag

Is that the same carrier bag you had the other weekend? .

It's not mate no...it's a new one! The one the other weekend wasn't lucky because I was walking away from it when I got a hammered.

Same colour though

I sure have, but I didn't want it to divert attention from you and Crusader's ongoing quest/competition to strip every field you touch of any hammered coins. He got the nice trinket but you did get hammered!
