Still out there!

[CRUSADER]

Before Lunch we cover 2 Games Strips of about 2 acres. Not an area we would normally cover but it bagged me a nice hammered! We then finished our 5 hour session on some pretty bumpy ploughed land near where I recently got the Saxon Wrist Clasp. This area was very slow with hardly any good finds.

End Result:

17th C Civil War Period Lead Powder Flask Lid (Flatten)
1861 French Coin (Folded)
Tin & Copper Plugged Halfpenny (Very Rare but nothing left to ID)
Near Blank Victorian Sixpence (Silver)
My find of the day - Henry III Penny, Gilbert of Canterbury.

Modern Dog Tag - Great condition as it had a plastic wallet. I think its a currently serving US Air Force Service man.

Nice penny CRU! After a find like that the rest of the day is gravy!

This area was very slow with hardly any good finds.

Not a good area?

That would be one of my best days in years!

Great finds!

Very nice hammered. Wonder what the service man was doing in that field, metal detecting??

Greetings Cru,

beautiful coin! I checked and found that the AAF changed to using SSN after July 1 1969. So it is a pre69 dog tag. Here ithe web site Service Numbers and Social Security Numbers
Keep swinging!

Dog Tag cool find.
Nice 800 year old silver too. I love those old portraits.

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Very nice hammered Henry III Penny Cru!

It always amazes me how well the gilt stands up on some of these early flat buttons.

Hope you're Dad's doing well these days.
