Title: I knew they were there somewhere! Couple of hammies Post by: hedgehog on September 26, 2009, 04:15:31 PM If I don't find something I've just got to keep going back until I do, they were hiding but I found them in the end.
The short cross is moneyer Stivene on Lund so that is Richard 1st , class 3 I think ??? The cut half is a voided long cross so I assumed it was Henry III and with the triangle on the back I thought it was Irish, I know nothing about these and would appreciate a positive i.d. Like all cut halves the condition is fantastic! Title: Re: I knew they were there somewhere! Couple of hammies Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on September 26, 2009, 04:17:30 PM Awwww well done Steve mate.

Couple of hammies Post by: hedgehog on September 26, 2009, 04:33:37 PM I don't count them Kev, but I do know I've found three gold this year and hoping for another ( I know that's greedy, but I can't believe my luck with the gold this year, going from none in the last 12 years to three is unbelievable)

Title: Re: I knew they were there somewhere! Couple of hammies Post by: The Doc on September 28, 2009, 09:55:27 PM Nice finds Steve. Your ID of the shortcross is correct. The cut half is an interesting coin - a Long Cross single-lion sterling of Brabant. This has letters where there are usually pellets, and yours are A and L, so it's either WALT, thought to be a moneyer, or DALE, which was for Dalhem mint. The legend on the side with the lion on a shield reads +DUX BRABANTIE, and the cross side legend partly reads DEI GRATIA. The coins date from 1270- 1285
Here's a similarish one (http://users.telenet.be/medievalcoins/brJanI_VHG167.jpg) Title: Re: I knew they were there somewhere! Couple of hammies Post by: hedgehog on September 29, 2009, 07:17:36 AM Thanks for the i.d. Peter (another great bit of detective work), it does help a great deal in identifying the time span in which the site was occupied and is very interesting. Although I am aware that "one swallow does not a summer make", at the moment by the coin info, it is showing an occupation of about 60-70 years.

i caught one of my farmers seeding and racking a field on Sunday afternoon, he let me on no probs, i was there a few weeks ago in stubble, nothing came up, but had some nice coins this time, He stopped and asked me to look out for a bearing from his machine he'd lost the day before but couldn't find it, i found it within 10 mins and took it to him, he was well pleased, its nice when you can do something worthwhile back for them hey, he said i can go back too, so hopfully some more will be waiting, cheers now Alan Title: Re: I knew they were there somewhere! Couple of hammies Post by: hedgehog on September 29, 2009, 10:32:46 AM It is nice when it's a partnership Al (nice to see you back on the forum by the way), I show the farmers everything which isn't always to my advantage, but it does help to cement the relationship. I do get calls occasionally to find pieces of equipment and it is nice when you succeed, well done!
Title: Re: I knew they were there somewhere! Couple of hammies Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on September 29, 2009, 07:37:52 PM Thanks Paul, yeah iv'e had to find a few things for farmers, makes you feel worthwhile too and appriciated mate.
Going to try and trace the young girl owner of a moblie phone i found now, its worth £97,69. i'm not like some who would chuck the sim card and put a new one in for themselves, iv'e already wrote to some one on facebook who may be the owner anyhow, Cheers now Paul Alan |
