My day with shaun

[hammered]

I met shaun at his house early this morning and after a cuppa and a mauling by Yogi, we went off to one of his fields. The weather was a bit changeable at first but by late morning it was warm and I had found my first hammered. Shortly after, I found another small hammered with a hole in it, and throughout the the rest of the day a few more bit and pieces including a small strip of silver about 1.5 inches long and very thin. There appears to be some form of patterning on it along with a possible hallmark, I will try to get better pics in daylight tomorrow.
Thanks for a great day shaun , I'll get you on some of my fields over the next couple of weeks .

Pic.1) Charles 1st Sixpence (obverse)
Pic.2) Ditto (reverse)
Pic.3) Small hammered with hole
Pic.4) Patterned strip of silver
Pic.5) Possible hallmark
Pic.7) Some of the other bits

Once again, cheers shaun .

It is very similar in size and has some of the same lettering as a Queen Mary penny .

Nice big Charlie Tower Mint under the King 1632-33. The smaller one looks like a Stuart coin to looks like you both had a Great day

Great looking finds hammered
This item has me perplexed though, can you read enough of the hallmarks to ascertain a date? I thought when I first viewed this that it might be a scabbard to a knife or possibly a dirk . . . what are your thoughts on it?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave, sorry it took so long to get back to you, the strip of silver isn't big enough to be more than a band of some sort. Maybe the type of band you get around a fountain pen?. I will take better pics tomorrow in daylight, and try to focus on the hallmarks better, also put something in for size reference. Trouble is I can feel a field calling me to detect , and I might just have to get up early tomorrow and find some more stuff .

Thanks for the response hammered, I would have never guessed it was that small.
Have you had an opportunity to look up the hallmarks . . . just curious as to the date?

It just seems that way

 

[pepperj]

Nice going on the silvers

 

[CRUSADER]

I think the coin is a Charles I Penny, it was a common period for holes (some say touch pieces), I think its the Briots style shield (top of head)
