2 Hour Hunt...Supprise Hammered

[Silver Searcher]

Hello all...

desperate for land at this time of year so decided to call were I found the Stirrup Ring and check out the fishing with the land owner, put the detector in the car just in case.


This turned out to be a good decision, all of the fields were under crop but some turf he had been growing had been taken off and a section of about thirty square yards

was detectable.

The usuall bits of scrap lead and quite a few musket balls were all that showed at first, then right out of the blue a hammered coin looks like one of the Edwards (half groat)

not quite sure which one because the legend has been clipped of some nicer buttons came to light and a Silver whatsit no idea of what (open to id on buttons and whatsit)

any way here's the pictures

Its a medieval horse fittment, normally a lions head.

I haven't looked at the book but its a EDWARDVS, so maybe the III?? Norrrows the search for you.

Congratulations on the great finds despite the land shortage.


The hammered is Beautiful. I also have a soft spot in my heart for the 18th c. Jew's Harps. Nice to get a whole one of those. Bravo!



Best Wishes,
