The first bent hammered is Henry VI annulet issue I believe.

Neil - your short cross looks like Henry III class 7b. Strangely, the lettering looks different in the two picture. The first one of the reverse clearly shows an S, but in the second picture it seems to have morphed into a C. It's either Canterbury (CANT) or Bury St Edmunds (SANT). Any chance of better pics of the reverse?

Great report and well done everyone on braving the weather. Its good to read about the successes.

lets hope all the coins and artefacts over 300 years old are recorded on the Portbale Antiquity Scheme database, through your local FLO, or on UKDFD.

Well pleased today, but my lovely 18 year old thinks I look a "little camp" in the photo. Well you can't win them all. Thanks to all today, brilliant.

I knew Peter - would put me straight on the coinage! Well done Doc!

Apologies for the mix ups - its a lot to remember what with finds and finders, plus my brain is nearly 40 years old. Life has taken its toll I can tell you!

I know there were three cut halfs and I probably mixed up the finders. I am sure Jason had one of the small hammereds. Need to recheck my photos.

Better pictures later of the short cross Peter. Probably tomorrow now as the light has gone, as has two of my camera batteries!

Glad you enjoyed the read and photos guys - it was a quality rally.

Cheers
Neil

Thanks to Detecting Wales for organising yet another great Rally! Thanks for taking the photos Neil! I see you labled my cut half as diggerdave's, it's Jon's (mine), but you have a lot to remember so I do understand. My cut half I believe is rather a broken coin rather than cut, when I saw Chef's coin it made me realise that his was cut spot on where mine is slightly jaggered and not in line with the cross. And Neil labled my tiny coin correctly, it is a farthing of Edward the first, my word, had no idea they could be that small, I know mine is clipped, but nevertheless they are tiny, mine measures a mere 11mm. I thought I would attach two panoramic views of Rooksbridge that took before leaving. PS: Great write up too!
