Yorkshire pudding

[RonO]

I spent last Thursday detecting in Yorkshire, England and while I didn't find a lot of old stuff I had an enjoyable day! The photos will show several coins, but the vast majority are modern, however there are a couple that date back a few years. One is a hammered Edward I silver penny (I think) and if my identification is correct it is from 1272-1307. The other "old" coin is actually just 1/4 of a silver coin. I am awaiting positive ID from Crusader. It appears to have celtic symbols, but I could be wrong. I also found what I think is a medieval child's ring and several buttons of unknown age. The round ball is silver and not a pistol ball........unless the Lone Ranger roamed those parts. There are also some lead items. I would appreciate positive ID on any of the items. Thanks for looking.

Indubitably, another guy to compete with my good friend, Mr. dugfinds. This is a great hobby! How deep were the "Hammies?"

Hi Kirk,

The 1/4 hammered, which I am beginning to think is also an Edward I, was about 8' deep and the whole hammered was around 6". Thanks for looking.

RonO:
Great finds.
Did you rule out Edward II?
Reverse legend is: CIVITAS LONDON (City of London).

Hi Don,
Here is what Crusader has to say about my cut hammered coin.

The attached is a hammered short-cross penny (cut quarter or Farthing). On one side it has the start of HEN[RICVS]. Problem is both John 1199-1216 & Henry III 1216-72 started with Henricvs. (also Richard & Henry II but I can discount them).

On the Reverse it would have the moneyers name & mint For example; Adam . On . Lvne (Adam of London). Yours you can only see VF . O[N] ? So could be moneyer RAVF of either London or Bury St Edmunds (Different RAVF at two places).

Thank you for the information.

Don,
I'll look closely at the full coin tomorrow. I certainly do not know and was going by what someone had told me. Thank you for your information and I'll let you know what the outcome is.
