Today was a good day! 😎

[blossom]

Today dawned bright and sunny after yesterday‘s rain so we set off eagerly across the grass fields… started Finding bullets, so changed direction back towards the truck, I got a poor signal and we were in 2 minds whether we dug, but as the digging was easy I did, about 8 inches down up popped my second ever hammered! Oh my days! Himself nearly had a tantrum as he had only dug 1 musket ball all morning (other than the rifle bullets). After lunch we decided to go for a walk round the field and come back thru the other grass field where we found the old horse shoe. The field gave us a couple of buttons and 2 toasted coins. We crossed back into the other grass field and found more musket balls, then I got a great signal, and oh my, we had no idea what this coin was but it was silver 😆. The perfect end to an awesome day.

Not sure on the I’d of the hammered… but the silver coin is a Philip & Mary 1554 undated shilling…!

So we think the hammered is Henry 3rd… not sure of date but b. 1207 d. 1272. Not quite the bronze age… but im happy 😆 x

That is one beautiful coin! What is that item with the face?
If I ever come back to to the motherland I'm looking you guys up. Mind how you go (we love Endeavour).

Banner vote on that beauty !! Congrats blossom !!

 

[pepperj]

This needs a little kick up in viewing the quality of this crisp silver.

 

[devldog]

Blossom, Congrat's to you on one Fantastic hunt with some Banner Saves. We don't find relics or coins this old in America of course. Well Done. Also, Condolences to you and your fellow countrymen and women in the loss of your Queen from Georgia.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Mackerel, Blossom! I knew you would find something banner worthy! I know you may be a little humble about it, but it is the way it works on this site! Words escape me! That coin is worth big $$$$ (Thanks, PepperJ for the link!)!!!!!
Uh, himself is going to be a little green now.

 

[blossom]

Thanks all for the comments, just FYI one has gone on sale today … here is the screen shot…. Not that we would sell, but just so you can see it does have value 😍 xx

 

[grasshopper]

Wow, those are some beautiful coins, congratulations!

 

[CRUSADER]

That is a BANNER hammered in my eyes, it in great condition & will easily make £3000 (or more).
The other Penny, as you have stated is a Henry III.
