Members finds

[diggaduff]

Hi all, been asked to post some recent finds found by club member Blueboy, the two hammered were found close to each other, the Medallion is to do with Sunday school and he has been told the bracelet  is a child's roman one? Any views thanks

The two hammereds are very rolled, strange to find two like that close together.
Are they a James and a Elizabeth?

[diggaduff]

Hi Dale, yes I believe they are a James and a Lizzie, since been told that they were rolled to hang around the neck with string but not sure  what for? Maybe to keep your money close to your chest or as jewellery

I know the plough do roll hammered coins, but them two do look tight and deliberate.
There even the same size coin so its possible they was used for something

I found a rolled Mary groat last year but to find two in the same place is interesting I have my doubts on the string theory as we would find more of them the only theory at the moment is that they are religious offerings ie wishing coins. The "bracelet" looks to be one piece of metal cast to look like two pieces braided together if so then it's probably quite modern

HoverG had a tightly rolled Charles penny at the Ross rally...Come on Geoff how did you field straighten it? I did wounder

[Chef Geoff]

With the aid of Deadlocks cooking stove No that one was bent not rolled, these would take some rolling to get them so tight.

[Dale]

Ah right...

It sure would...... Its amazing how it happens... I suppose if its positioned right in the ground with 150 horses hitting it I don't think its got much of a choice but to roll

[Chef Geoff]

  No these have been done on purpose

[Dale]

O right lol
