1000 Acre Permission - Scouting Out...

[CRUSADER]

We only expected a 3 hour max window before the forecast thundery showers were due, although we dived in the car for 1 heavy shower we ended up doing 6 hours on 3 different fields. (Only getting a little wet)
Plan A was to scout a new field that was in my hunch head list. It wasn't a target field & had no intel on it, but this time of year with no other options it was worth a scout.
I beelined it to an area I liked the look of & got a hammered in 25 mins & 2 in less than 1 hour. It wasn't the day for stopping & gridding, as I wanted to sample the whole 60 odd acres. I managed 1 scrappy & a good understanding of where we should grid in future - job done.
After an early Lunch & listening to King Charles III getting Crown on the Radio, we tried a low yield Roman Site & got another 2 scrappies, Roman Bracelet bit & a Hammered.
We then tried gridding the next field which we have never done, other than cross through it & get a hammered or 2. I got 2 more Scrappies & a Hammered which was dated 1572 but lost sometime after 1696;
''At the same time, there was still a need to have circulating coins, so the government opted to mark unclipped coins and return them to circulation. The Act was passed on January 17th, 1696 and February 10th was the deadline when the only coins that would be current would be those that had been punched. The terms were explicit: "...unclipt hammered Monies should…before the tenth day of February one thousand six hundred and ninety five… call such unclipped monies to be struck through about the middle of every piece, with a solid punch that should make a hole without diminishing the Silver." "Unclipt" was defined as having "both rings." After this, any appropriately holed coin would be forfeit if it was subsequently found clipped.
There is debate about who was responsible for this fast method of marking "good coin"-the Treasury/Mint, Justices of the Peace along with local authorities, or individuals who recognized that their coins would lose value after the deadline.''

4 Hammered was not expected off this land & it takes us to 75 this year which was Cru'dad target for the whole year. Hit that one early!

Good job! I’d say you did the right plan.

Super finds.

 

[JeffInMass]

I have to chuckle- 100 acre permission and that's the result of a scouting mission- that area will produce a lifetime's worth of finds for many here in the states- GL with the return trips!

Congrats on reaching the years totals est. and it's only May.
The silver stud is a nice one with the N.
Thanks for the write up on the centre punched coinage, did not know that.

1000 Acre permission is pretty new (couple of years in), but we have spent some time on it before & found the obvious Sites & its where I got the Roman Gold Coin from an area with no Roman Signs.
There is huge area of this land with nothing on it, this hunch field was a good intuitive guess. We will grid & see how good it is.

I beelined it to an area I liked the look of & got a hammered in 25 mins & 2 in less than 1 hour.

Your decision to scout a new field, even without prior knowledge or intel, paid off remarkably. Within a short time, you discovered a hammered item in just 25 minutes and two more within an hour. Sampling the entire 60-odd acres gave you a good understanding of where to focus your efforts in the future. Mission accomplished!

To have already reached 75 hammered items this year, which was your target for the entire year, is truly remarkable. You hit that goal early and in style!

Congratulations on such an incredible day filled with thrilling finds and surpassing your targets. Wishing you many more rewarding adventures in the future!
