Well I'm hoping there is, there's some great finds there so far, this roman a nice Charles I 2 pence and several other milled coins and tokens so fingers crossed there's more to come. I've just been clearing a lot of scrap and the goods are starting to come out now. Problem is the good stuff is starting to get deep now lol

I'm inclined to agree with your own identification - I couldn't find the exact match (i.e letter spacings) on a quick search online, that's not a problem - each die is individual. - what kind of environment did you find it in? Normally for me silver seems to come up quite nice.

It was found on pasture although I am inclined to say that it has been ploughed in the past due to the chip in the coin. Most things come out in quite good condition, I had a fake George 3rd 6d and you could see everything on it and other coppers have come out good to. This Charles I turned up in good condition aswell.
