Hi All..... if you have followed my posts from this season you will know it's been a very good year both for me and my detecting partner Michael :icon_sunny: now the main fields are out of bounds until after the harvest it come as a bit of a bonus when the farmer offered us his Paddock field were his wife keeps her Horses , this field actually joins one of our main fields. Not really liking grass fields I decided to give it a go :thumbsup: boy I can tell you I glad I did, first good find Anglo Saxon Double Headed Brooch I have not seen this variety before so it could date from anywere between late 4th Century-early 10th Century :o there were quite a few modern finds in between but later in the day I got my Twentieth Hammered of the year and one of the best I have ever had :icon_king::HenryV111 1509-26 Hammered Groat First coinage, the first coinage of this coin used the portrait of HenryV11 whats pleasing about the coin is it's unclipped and apart from a hairline crack and a slight raggedness to the edge would grade VF value about £175- £375 so you can double that for US Dollars. I keep saying that's it for this season but I still keep finding places to go who knows I may go on right the way through till harvest :thumbsup:

Hi Rob...does yours have the double xx before the Z :P all the outhers I have seen including the 2008 spink book have only one x :icon_study:

No mention of the marks in JJ North book on English Hammered Coinage. Very detailed book but few pictures. The marks must have no known meaning (I guess) or be privy marks??
The double xx apears on the reverce of all the coins in the books but not on the obverse, as you know these differences can make a coin more valuble.
