Title: Re: More finds Post by: Val Beechey on October 16, 2013, 09:02:34 AM Some really nice finds Gesza. What have you found out about the silver 'coin' in the 3rd pici. I might be letting my imagination run riot but are those Templar crosses stamped on it. I notice it also has a 'T' stamped on it.

I just love that little acorn :) Damn, and there's me thinking it was some sort of roman phallic symbol! ;D ;D ;D nice finds gesza, now get the older ones recorded with your local FLO. Title: Re: More finds Post by: Val Beechey on October 16, 2013, 03:45:29 PM They don't look like xxx's to me Gesza but they do remind me of Templar crosses. Like this one (if the link works)

Title: Re: More finds Post by: Val Beechey on October 16, 2013, 04:21:48 PM Wonder if Peter might know anything about Templar coins. I had a look myself and they certainly made their own coins but much more elaborate, like hammered. Just wondered if they over stamped any.
Val Title: Re: More finds Post by: Chef Geoff on October 16, 2013, 04:32:03 PM It looks to be a milled coin (or was) and I would say they were X's not +'s ??? A nice selection of finds, well done.
Just a note, there is no such thing historically as a "Templar Cross" that's more of a hollywood invention, the Templars did wear a red cross but this varied in design depending on country and time, as the style of crosses changed with fashion so did the crosses worn ;) Title: Re: More finds Post by: gesza on October 16, 2013, 04:41:21 PM hi all looked at it again and they are crosses ?
Title: Re: More finds Post by: legio11augustus on October 16, 2013, 05:43:14 PM wow ,what a diverse array of finds ,well done
Title: Re: More finds Post by: Dale on October 16, 2013, 05:47:33 PM Nice finds Gesza, the buckle item is nice, is it silver?
As Geoff said the silver coin with the cross on looks to be a early milled silver, just very worn, I also found one with a similar cross stamped in to it, mine is the same size as a William 3rd 6d. Title: Re: More finds Post by: Val Beechey on October 16, 2013, 06:08:40 PM Intriguing, a bit of a mystery, love it. ::)
