Title: Re: hammered Post by: handyman [Alan} on October 30, 2011, 08:58:19 AM cool coin, where bouts in wiltshire was that? LOL -- the scottish side!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: hammered Post by: rjm on October 30, 2011, 11:45:32 AM It's easy to tell it is Scottish as it has a hole in it. A Scots person would have had it on a piece of string so it wasn't lost and could be pulled back after spending! ;D Title: Re: hammered and roman Post by: colin on October 30, 2011, 02:26:45 PM thats a good one rob,cleaned the roman from yesterday as well still need more soaking put them on anyway.
Title: Re: hammered Post by: Chef Geoff on October 30, 2011, 02:52:37 PM Wow!!! now that looks like a nicccccccce site, not to sure on the coins other than no.1 which is Allectus, but a couple are definitely well into the 4th century and that pottery is a great condition, not abraded at all, that hasn't moved much since the day it was thrown away. And interestingly it could pre-date the coins by quite some years.
Title: Re: hammered Post by: rjm on October 30, 2011, 03:48:08 PM Well done, Colin. Title: Re: hammered Post by: Villan (Neil) on October 30, 2011, 04:30:36 PM Great finds Colin,well done ;)

Title: Re: hammered Post by: Techony on October 30, 2011, 07:07:06 PM Thanks Col, that makes it a quarter thistle-merk. Don't hear much about them down here, I'll have to add it to my list ;D ;D ;D It's a beauty, also looks like it was nailed to something rather than simply pierced. Must've been a Scottish thing. Maybe one of our friends from over the wall can explain the significance ??? |
