:hello:

After the snow melt I decided to give the Roman Villa field another go 8) knowing the snow would have flattened the crop and the soil, so a few finds might show :P

Managed a few scrappy Bronzes(posted the best) and another 2 hammered :headbang: two cut halfs both short cross, also a nice little seal, can't decide if its Roman or later :icon_scratch:

First Gold of the year, hopefully not the last, and hopefully not the oldest, it's part of a Gold cuff-link, had a unusuall Alloy Token :help:and a couple of Bronze ones made the day worth while.Hopefully tomorrow will bring more of the same :thumbsup:

I have also posted a picture of some of the building material used on the Villa, you can see the stones and flints used in the making of what looks like concrete.

I could look up the 1797 halfpenny Token if you wish?

The Vessical Seal is ecclesiastical & circa 14th Century (priest/monk holding book).

Two shortcross you lucky dog. Dad is away & I'm going nowhere this weekend :(
Yea you could if you like, give us the name of that Token book again would you :thumbsup: I couldn't make up my mind about the seal :icon_scratch: with it being small, and the figure I couldn't quite make out, but it does look like a figure reading a book :)

SS

Funny, how you can read it once you see the book: (the provincial token - coinage of the 18th century - dalton & hamer 1910-1918 - updated - Davisson)

Ship - 'Liverpool Halfpenny'
Liverpool coat of arms - 'Deus Nobis Hac Otia Fecit' / '1797'



The Seal has a couple of medieval 'E's :icon_thumright:
Cheers you beat me to it....found one like it. I was just to lazy before to look ;D

SS

as I had my hallmark book open for another poster, thought I would add your silver fob for a watch is Birmingham 1903.
:thumbsup: Cheers...it's a nice little fob that one, should do well on ebay :laughing7:

specially as the shield is blank, so others can add the initials.

Silver Searcher you sure know how to get the new year started :hello2: :headbang:

4-5 hammered so far for the year?
Four Silvers IS....three of them Hammered :icon_thumleft:

SS

Last year I counted flat track coins and couldn't keep up with your hammered count ;D

Awesome finds and look forward more SS 2010 finds :hello2:
I know there are a lot more Hammered on the Villa field :P but it's just a very large area, mostly down to look from now until the crop grows to high, if it's dry tomorrow I will drop back on it, so maybe more Hammered to show :icon_thumleft:

SS



Save some for me in the summer SS :D
Unless you come late September...that field will be three feet high in Barley :wink:

SS

For the summer to you two come to the beaches of Spain to search for gold and sunbathing .... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't worry about me SS, after tomorrow I might just have to change my name! Old mushroom patch will have to think
of something else to pick on me for.....like my clubbed foot, or my unusually large forehead :-\
