Two Mary's!!!!!Silver

:hello:

Had to go to a back up plan today ::)

the fields I was expecting to be ploughed weren't :-[

so I went to the area that produced the clipped Silaqua and the small Elizabeth Hammered

The first run down produced a Hammered

and it turned out to be my second Mary Groat 1553-54

these coins are quite scarce

but usually are very poorly made as was this one $:-\$

I stopped on this field for most of the day $:-\$ and had a few odds and ends ::)

later in the day I had my second Hammered

and at first thought it to be a Elizabeth? not until I got it home did I realise it was another Mary

this time a quite rare Penny

this coin books at £575-£1750

but again it's not in good health

As a 'newbie' to the hobby I hope to find an English hammered someday. My favourite coin type by far. Love the clarity of your pics too. Congratulations!

He's secured one of the best deserted Abbey/Monastery sites I have seen (on the aerial). South of it is a Site the Archies were interested in (Roman). Its at the head of a spring. If we don't get hammered off it next year after harvest (our first chance), then I will pack in detecting for good. :icon_thumright:
