Edward the Confessor Penny 1059-62 + a few more firsts....

[CRUSADER]

The Cru'team does it again! Yesterday Cru'Dad suggested his plan A & I suggested mine, so in the end we did both in one day.
The first 3 hours of the day we went with Cru'Dads plan of covering a small low yield Roman Site, & then onto a nearby area where we had a few Saxon Brooches. I thought this a good idea as the Roman site had only been covered once & I wanted to try a new deep program on the nearby Saxon area. The conditions where not great & the 4 inch turn had just been left, so we only managed 4 scrappies & the Saxon area was a bust. Picture No.1. (2 good buttons, 1 mid-19th C Royal Artillery Mess Dress Button - I Need)

After lunch we went to an area I wanted to grid, its been on my mine for awhile but it was a high risk gamble, we had only really found 1 hammered in the past, but I thought with a 1/2 day we should get the 1 hammered I was hoping for. I never thought our 2.5 hour grid would turn up so many good finds;

1943 Sixpence
1797 Penny
Lead Token
Rose Farthing
Early English Jetton - Type I've never seen!
My first Medieval Iron Arrow Head
Broken late/post medieval Sword Belt Hook
Nice early 13th-14th C Buckle with biting beasts - A first!
Cut Short-cross hammered
Charles I Halfgroat
Edward the Confessor Penny 1059-62 ​-
Moneyer - Godwine
Mint - Huntingdon

Great combined efforts, hard to say what I like most. Like to see the iron point after conservation.

I'm not sure what to do with it, it looks like if I took it back to bare metal there will be nothing left, so I'm thinking about sealing it.

Awesome finds. So hard for me to comprehend the stuff you find. Hundreds and hundreds of years older than the modern stuff over here. Congrats!

Thanks for all the comments.

Nice to see you and your Dad pulling a few silvers from these sites Cru.
I know a lot of guys don't really consider this type of find interesting, but I love the detail work that went into toys back in the 40s & 50s.
