This Weekends Stuff...

CRUSADER · Sep 22, 2013

I hadn't been out since the 10th of Sep, & it was time to scratch the itch. This post covers the 11 hours & 45 minutes I did today & yesterday, plus Dads 8 hours (this weekend plus a few hours 2 weeks ago) on 4 different fields.
The highlights was a Saxon Pinhead that Dad got & the 7 hammered I found - sadly all in poor condition.
I also got a Lead Token with a date - 1733 'RD' (rare find)
Working Medieval Swivel!
Medieval Pilgrims Badge - Cherub face
Roman Mount
6 Scrappies
& many more goodies...

That's a very good assortment, but the hammered coins really rock.
ZDD

A hammered evey couple hours...your still doing good. I love to get one of those, but chances pretty slim.

I really like those very early "clunky" looking buttons. Also not going to happen here.

UPDATE:

Yesterday when I found one of the Roman Coins I knew in the field that it was 'different'. It kind of made no sense being the metal (bronze), size & type it was. I passed it to Cru'Dads expert hands & this is his thoughts:

The coin is a Caracalla (ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM) with Radiate head and Jupiter reverse but they were only in Silver Antoninianus. There is a radiate Dupondis but not with the Jupiter reverse and the coin is 4.72gm (more a low AS weight which have laureate heads only). So I think it was a silver plated contemporary Antoninianius - their weights being between 4 to 5 grams.

Therefore our conclusion is a contemporary forgery/immitation 'bronze core' (no silver visible) which puts it straight in the album as an interesting piece. :thumbsup:
