He only went & did it again ::) He found the Sceat that looks to be a Very Rare Series M, Type 45, although I can't find a match just yet, just as we were starting to head back to the car! We didn't realise until we got home & starting cleaning up, that one of the Scrappies I found was a copper-core to a Sceat :laughing7: :headbang: So that made it 2 all this year (4 in a year, but 3 in a weekend!)

38 Roman Coins
Cut Hammered of Henry III (Willem of London)

Before the 3.5 hours we had on this field, I had scouted on my own a field near my house (1.5 hours). Nothing much, other than the finds in picture 1 - 17th C Buckle, 1776 Zelandia Duit, referred to as a New York Penny;

To top it off we have broken our best years total Roman Coin (Bronze) count, which is currently at 1221 :icon_thumright: (previous record 1193)

Crazy weekend :headbang:

Its the Sceats that matter in this post :wink: I'm thinking one at least is going to be more than rare :thumbsup:
 

Re: On the way back to the car...

Sorry...was so fast looking at the pics and didn't read everything.... ::) You are right. The sceats are much better than the romans. Sometimes i did not realize the rarity of these finds. You say copper core. Were these sceats plated?
 

Re: On the way back to the car...

You need to get that Cortes back :laughing9:

Well done both :icon_thumleft:

I've heard/found debased sceat's, I'm not aware of them being plated, but it's not my strongest area of study, so I await an answer from an expert. :wink:
 

Re: On the way back to the car...

I think from now on you need to leave all but the md in the car and send Cru dad back for the items one at a time ! :hello2: Congrats!

Re: On the way back to the car...

Way to go, Cru and Cru-Dad! When the two of you finish digging up Great Britain, I wonder which nation or entire continent you will tackle next?!

Thanks to Joeyfresh for the wikipedia link which enlightened me somewhat on the sceat finds.

UPDATE:

Cru'dad's Sceat is the first recorded example of Metcalf's variety C of Series M. :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:
I've only had 1 coin (Henry I) recorded as the only 1. So we both have historic coins to our name. Good team work :coffee2:

I had a strong feeling it was up there in single figures, but this result is great :icon_thumright:
 

Re: On the way back to the car...UPDATE - 1st One Recorded!

Well done your Dad, I think you should give this game up Cru and leave it to your Dad...you can take the pics :wink:
