The Village Field - Day 7 - 7 Hammered & TREASURE...

[CRUSADER]

Although this is the first attempt on this field after the Pea Harvest, I'm calling it day 7 because we are gridding on from where we left off last time.
Never had to detect pea stalks before but they are great - low down, mostly mashed up & soft to push through.
Today we detected for 5 hours & finally we are back in our stride, after a slow start to the harvest.

Great work Crusader and Cru'Dad. Seven hammered coins is a remarkable total! I'm intrigued by that 4 legged piece. Any guesses?

Patient strategy of gridding as seasons allow continuation is obviously a good sound one!
Congrats.

Looks like a great haul Crusader. Nice finds.

What a nice grouping of hammered Cru'! If they were all together you could call it a hoard of hammered....gaggle of geese etc...and treasure to boot....you and Crudad are certainly on your stride....

I have no guesses, seen nothing like it!

Cool, any idea how old yours is? I just became aware of these things after seeing one in my local "museum" (its basically a shack) at Colonial Pemaquid. Apparently this one was made in Germany too, In Nuremburg, by Johann Jacob Dietz. I remember it and took a picture because how they say It's one of only 2 found. One in Pemaquid, Maine and the other in the toe of a boot, stuck in the mud, in the Thames River, by Ivor Noel Hume.
So i guess be on the look out over there for a 3rd one.

Congrats on an outstanding hunt and recoveries!

I don't bother researching a full ID on these unless they are high grade examples. This Nuremburg example is from circa 16th-17th C.
In Nuremburg it was illegal for the Jetton Makers to leave the Country with their trade. By this point they had demolished the English & French manufacturers & flooded the market with boat loads of Jettons. I find it a little hard to believe that there are only '2 known' examples of any type of Jetton in the quantities that they produced them in. (Maybe they didn't research hard enough?)
