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

Re: Mound Field - Day 3 - WOW......

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

The biggest is unidentified. I think its a milled 17th-18th century foriegn coin. I can just make out some letters which are not British & a faint bust of??

Could even be Dutch. Do you have the letters? and the back side?

 

[woody50]

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

two bits

Nothing left at all on the back side. Seems to say CONCORDIA (maybe or similar), I thought it might be Dutch.

Concordia was also on some roman coins...
On the Dutch coins this Concordia text is present:
Concordia res parvae crescunt

Unity is strength,
Dissension break strength.

Can't seem to find what I think it could be at this moment. Do have some with a bust but does not agree
with the faint marks as far as I can see... If dutch it could be much earlier 16th century.

I see the letters "ARV" in the bottom left of the coin wich could be a part of the letter ,parvae, then. So dutch?

That is what it says in bold, so you have narrowed it to Dutch. Corncordia is a common roman reverse type, thats why I gave up researching it.

Neat that you found this data on our website wf4.nl! But you can include it in your count, I'm pretty sure its from the 16th century too. But I don't believe its the same as the coin on our site (Concordia is in the wrong place). BTW GEL of HOL mean Gelderland from Holland, and the Belgica, well at that time Belgium was a part of Holland.
Would have to search further, but I do believe that the coin is Dutch.

hey some great finds there so keep going back there is more please keep us posted.

 

[dgaughan]

some fantastic finds for you and your pop kind of cool to find romans all the way to the 1958 six pence. continued good luck to both of you

Concordia is in the exact same place, the head is similar & the diameter is the same.

Holy Cow! That's a HUGE HAUL of hammered silver. The Roman silver is Wonderful!
