Title: Few Hours Search.
Post by: celticspikey on December 08, 2016, 06:42:46 PM
Hi guys, I had a few hours on Med 1 field today, seeded and sticky under foot due to rain, so not the best of conditions for searching. Anyway the best and most welcome was the early Saxon Sceat, I know its a Porcupine type but it appears to have a slightly different reverse, TOT in the corner of flan...Any help please with the ID.....The other silver coin in group shot is a really small and worn roman siliqua.......Thanks for looking.

Super find Paul. Amazing a sceat can look that good after being in the ground since circa 700 ad
Not often one of those little Roman coins come up either. Well done again.
