Today dawned bright and sunny, so we headed back to the same fields as yesterday, mainly due to the Limited off road capability of my car! 😆 xx The rape crop has failed in these fields so we have them all winter, we have six fields to choose from, and they are just outside a village and have natural water.

Im just going to say it, today I won, no question, hands down I had an epic day. But let me start you off with what I think is a pen lid (?) it’s clearly flatterened and bent, but I’m not sure what else it could be. I think it says Mervyn xxxx , 1st Worcester and the date 8th Sept… then A sliver lid, def silver as smelt bad when I rubbed it with tin foil, again it’s squashed flat and the 2 halves are almost separated. Then 2 super buckles, 2 muskets, a horse head button, a bizzare Roman face, back is inverted, maybe a badge, leather pin, pin head and part of something, little bit of crotal and button, a ring, thimble top and corset fastener, part of a lock, spindle whorl, lead disk, lead bit and spoon handle (?) 3 pot legs, old square nail, bits of buckles and ring, part of a wedding ring, little Jetton, and then my silvers…….. smooth silver coin, 2 Elizabeth 1st hammereds 1570 & 1574… and 2 cut hammereds, not I’d yet!

That is my best ever silver day, totally blown away yet again by this awesome hobby! xx

Your 17th C Token is this one;

Essex, Waltham Farthing:
The Grocers' Arms
ROBERT NOBLE AT (Grocers Arms - Shield)
WALTHAM 1657 (R over M N in centre)

Although in my book it's under Leicestershire as 'Waltham-on-the-Wolds', so not sure which is correct.
 

We here in Mass have things pretty good, but you folks on that side of the pond, OMG! Two 1500's silvers- got to be kidding me! Makes my Pine Tree Shilling seem new! It's like time traveling back 500 years when I see posts like this- tremendous finds and Congrats!!

Awesome coins. Nice strong portrait of Queen Elizabeth, which really makes it special. Congrats!
