Mound Field - Day 3 - WOW......UPDATED!!

[CRUSADER]

Thanks to Cru'dad's 2 day scouting mission on a monster 300+ acre field we knew where to concentrate our efforts. We packed our lunches & made a day of it, spent about 7.5 hours on the field.

We were hoping for the odd hammered coin but Dad started with a Cut Quarter which I think is Scottish, then a cut half of King John, later a grotty hammered & finally a Edward IV 1464-70 Archb. Neville of York (we need this one). I was getting my butt kicked my my old friend the Cortes, 4 hammered to 0 (taking our yearly totals to 7, Dad & 9 for me). As it came towards the end of the day I wondered what my XP was upto, when I hit the Roman Silver

Vespasian - Rome AD75
Pax seated left

Other bits included:
17th century token
Jetton
16-17th century spur buckle
Roman Brooch
1 scappy roman coin
etc...

An excellent hunt for a new & massive field.

UPDATED:
The cut qrter is rare & is the earliest type of Scottish hammered!

William the Lion
Scottish Cut Qrter
1165-1214

Short Cross
Star in Qrter

That is some awesome silvers!! Is it the biggest hammered that is the Edward IV?
I think we can expect to see some more great coins and artifact being pulled of this new field

No, but my ancestors did.

Cru,
You and CruDad never let us down. Your ancient finds are AMAZING to say the least. Congrats on all the old coins.
I'm assuming "AD" stands for "After Dinosaurs" with the age of that Vespasian - Rome AD75 coin.
-MM-

 

[hikeinmts]

Great finds!!! I've seen them in books, bought a few from coin dealers, never dug any...... You are he!!!

 

[lairmo]

How much would it cost to have you ship me a couple truckloads of unhunted dirt?...

 

[Silver Searcher]

Some nice finds Cru have you got a picture of the reverse of the quarter, should have a six pointed star in quarter or is it quite worn. The Vespasian Silver looks like a real good quality coin

That side is the reverse you can just make out the star
