Title: Cardiff SCAN 2011 Rally -19th June 2011 Post by: Neil on June 19, 2011, 04:36:08 PM It was a great day out in my opinion with I think the running total at 6 hammereds when I left.
I didn't get there to gone 11 - so it was not the longest I have ever spent in a field. Apologies to Stan and Jaydogg - only got your messages when I got there. After last nights shenanigans at the (we've sold out of all beer by 5ish Beer Festival}I slept very late. Really pleased with my finds including a 1916 sixpence and right at the end - well for me at 2.30! I found a hammered Edward Penny in the bottom of the spoil heap. Pleased with the Geroge IV penny as well - thats my first to date from him. From the top of the spoil heap this time. Bob did really well with his "fairy stick" and had some lovely early Scottish hammered coinage. I am sure he will add photos later. Thanks to Paul and Dennis for arranging the farm and the organisers. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Saw some great other finds - which I am sure will surface shortly on here. Cheers Neil Title: Re: Cardiff SCAN Rally -19th June 2011 Post by: jaydogg on June 19, 2011, 04:40:20 PM Thats a good haul dude. Ive driven past and seen people detecting on that field many a time so well done.

another. As usual my Fairy stick came up with the goods. Two Scottish hammered. A William 1st of Scotland and an Alexander 3rd of Scotland. Peter has taken photo's and will do a more definitive ID later as he's as good at it as he is eating pies! ;D A group photo of some of my finds...

Five hammered turned up in the end I believe, all medieval. Most people had a few coins and many had milled silver.

William I (the Lion) of Scotland, short cross and stars (Phase B) cut halfpenny, moneyers Hue and Walter, struck circa 1205 - 1230. Halfpenny of John Baliol, struck 1292 - 1296. I thought this was Alexander III when I first saw it, but there is definitely an 'O' on the obverse side - the full legend on that side reads IOHANNES DEI GRA.

As a reward I will bring one of my wife's home made Corned Beef pasties to the next rally. They are hugely regarded by friends and family, as are her trifles. She makes the pasties especially for me to take to the Cardiff matches but as a special treat I will let you enjoy one as you are an expert on them. ;) ;D Title: Re: Cardiff SCAN 2011 Rally -19th June 2011 Post by: The Doc on June 19, 2011, 08:49:15 PM IDs on Bob's coins: William I (the Lion) of Scotland, short cross and stars (Phase B) cut halfpenny, moneyers Hue and Walter, struck circa 1205 - 1230.

Met some new mates and plenty of friendly horses, watching some of the members trying to dig holes while being nibbled by horses was hilarious! Even saw neil trying to not look like he was milking a horse! Didnt get any hammered but found some interesting buckles and buttons.

Just so green !! look at all what was found - would have loved to have been there !! H Sorry Heather, it was me that sent you the rejection from the Scan Club forum. The forum was open to all at one stage, but due to non-members and ex-members stirring up trouble, a decision was made that it should be for paid-up club members only. Please come to a meeting and you will see that we're a friendly bunch and always willing to help and encourage new members. Peter Title: Re: Cardiff SCAN 2011 Rally -19th June 2011 Post by: beepy (paul) on June 20, 2011, 09:57:48 AM Some of my better finds from yesterdays rally, found amongst the penny's,a good day had by all I think.

Some very nice finds - well done everyone. Deb Yes, I had a good day with some nice silver. I had to leave at 2pm, as well, otherwise I'd have stayed longer. I'm still hoping for my first gold coin. I was really pleased with the cut half as it was really deep, about 8", with no VDI number - just audio. (Large coil on 18khz) The thimble was an eyes only find on top of a spoil heap. A Minelab owner would have had that if I hadn't have picked it up !!!! ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Cardiff SCAN 2011 Rally -19th June 2011 Post by: reggie 1980 on June 21, 2011, 10:58:31 AM What date is the next meeting guys? and how much is it ti join as im going to come along. x
