Title: out in the snow on llantrisant common Post by: Gadget(Ian) on December 29, 2009, 04:00:48 PM went out for a mornings detecting with taff and roman ray.we found a few bits and pieces.
one interesting bit i found was a lantrisant token 3d(I know llantrisant spelt with 1 L on the coin)mmm got me thinking and looking. The pub was the Horse & Groom Inn. R Lewis.looking up the pubs in 1840 lantrisant had 27 pubs could not find horse and groom until i noticed Morgan Evans sold The Boot Inn about the 1850s to Rodrick Lewis for £450. He then renamed the pub the Horse & Groom Inn. so that kept me out of trouble for the afternoon and i know where the token comes from and its date. ;) ;D ;D ;D. cheers. ian.

I enjoy that as much as the detecting. Congrats on the find. Well done in this weather. I can't find the main road up here in the hills.
