Two Hammered. Updated..Henry11.

[Silver Searcher]

Got back on a field we lost 18 months ago this was due to a badly organized Sunday dig that wasn't supervised, it is also the field were I found the Farmers Wedding ring he lost 18years ago

Anyway we though we would ask again, and he said OK we have had a few Hammered of here before, infact Michael had 9 in one day, mostly cut half's and quarters. Second dig into the field and I had my first Hammered...a cut half short x but it took awhile for the second, a bent short x this time a full one, which looked like it had some nice detail

Michael suffered today not getting a Hammered, these were the only two to show, but the stubble was quite hard and we will be back when it's ploughed

I'v included a nice shot of a half Groat I found at the weekend which I never got around to posting

LMAO....Glad to see you guys are plagued with them every once in awhile as well ! Awesome Short X Hammereds Colin!!! That one bent in half looks to be in really good shape, for that matter, so is the half. The Groat is a beauty to behold as well. Congrats my friend!!!

Bloody things don't half give a good signal

Fantastic finds SS Great job as well on the coin restorations

Can you please tell me what this is?

Dave that's part of a Roman Brooch, the Blue is what remains from the enamaling

Thanks for the update SS. . . my second guess would have been a Smurf turd!

I thought at first this Hammered was a King John...11999-1216, it turns out that it's a bit scarcer. The coin is a Henry11 short cross..1154-89. Worcester Mint, Moneyer Godwine.

This is my first Hennry11 full short cross coin

Ahh your research makes it even better. I do not know how it could get much better but it did.
Congratulations SS !
