I had a couple of hours detecting today with my two boys, its always trouble :D todays hunt was cut short by them kicking mud dust around :-\ it was far to dry for detecting really, I did have a few large deep finds but most was surface due to the dry conditions.

The finds made was a cut half, pendent hanger, silver florin, and a possible coin weight what's very worn.

The finds of the day went to my mate this time with the best early milled silver George 1st shilling I have seen, and a very fine detailed noble weight, plus a hammered or two ::) his photos will follow ;)  

Nice one Dale, thats a great mornings work

And you thoughtfully didn't mention the silver thimble.  Very nice and very well done on the others Dale.

Pici of the boys made me smile. Took me back a few years. ::)


Val

nice finds tale well done

Cheers all :)

Val, I to thought the thimble was silver, but its actually a aluminium one.
lol and as shown in photo the boys had great fun :)

nice finds mate

Had a very quick hour this morning, but managed 2 hammered coins, I really did luck out today as I only dug about 15 holes......hammereds are a little like roman groat, you need to dig loads before a good one arrives ::) I think it has arrived today with the hpenny ;)

OOh! now that is a nice one too well done mate ;)

Cheers Geoff ;) you know when there good, as a clump of soil just sticks to the legends, un like the worn coins :)

If only all days were like that.  There be nothing left to find

lovely finds, and the kids enjoyed it too by the looks of things  :) :)

Now cleaned Edward 1st halfpenny LONDONIENSIS

lovely mate  :)

Great finds mate......I must be due a hammered soon

Ooooohhhhh    Lovely Dale.   Just think, it's been in the soil for 730 years, give or take a few, and it looks like it was struck last week.

Great find.

Val

WOW look at the condition of that. Well found Mucker

That's a fantastic little coin you have there - I can see you are well chuffed - it's definitely a keeper.

Cheers all ;)

nice coin dale

Here's  my mates finds as I said I could not believe the condition of the shilling, I just wish I had a dirty shot for the album.....The blue tone really sets it off, im glad he never cleaned it as I struck a deal and added it to my collection, even tho im not a milled lover.....:D

Fair play that's in great condition  :)

I'm still waiting for that hammered coin gggrrr il find one soon I'm sure

Don't know where you were digging Dale but it's very kind to the coins.  Another lovely coin.

Val

wow that coin is nice  :)

I need one of them ha ha ... I wish

That's a very nice shilling too. I wish I had a field that was that kind to me (still)

You still haven't told us the coin finds you made yet, we've had a few hints now and then :) anytime soon?

very nice coin mate

Very nice collection of finds.

Nice coins Dale well searched mate  :)

Them two little chaps need a detector in there hands Dale bless them,  ;) great bit of bonding with there dad, nice picture and a nice looking field but won't be long before it's a different colour  ::) love the finds well done mate ;) ;)

Going through my find box I came across the hammered I found in April. I thought it was a halfpenny from the London mint, I was never able to get a positive id on it as things never matched up, so this afternoon I was determined to id it....... I got out big bertha (1998 coin book)... I found out its a very large farthing ??? I never realised there was heavy weight farthings struck at 6.65 grains not long after it was reduced to 5.5 grains that's why the coin is so large and confusing to me.
Its the reversed N's type not mentioned in Spink....Iv added a pic of the coin next to the books example, and a shot of it next to a reduced Richard farthing to show the difference ;)  Plus a 1p
