Saxon Field - Day 4...

[CRUSADER]

Yesterday was a family day, so today was our only option & the heavens opened & the rain kept coming. We started in the rain & finished when the sleat started & we were soaked through to the skin.(3hrs 15mins) We haven't been this wet & cold for a long while However, at least we were finding stuff, although no Saxon today :P

2 Roman Coins
1817 Sixpence
4 Jettons
Tudor acorn leather mount
Tudor Belt Guide
Rose Farthing
My best find a Charles I (circa 1640s) Trade Weight (hard to find)

Nice haul .... again! At least you dug silver although not hammered. Good job on the trade weight too. I found a couple of those 5 years ago at 2 different sites here in Virginia. Is there any way to determine which King George these date back to? Could be anywhere from 1714 to 1820. Does that hallmark provide a clue? Thanks.

This GR is associated with the Act of 1795, however some of these marks were applied by the makers of the weights in order to make them look official. Are there any other marks other than the Crown over GR?

Not that I can see. On each weight the GR and crown are located at the 12, 4 and 8 o'clock positions. That may have been the way all were stamped, but thought I'd throw that in.

Unusual, as offical marks only have the G over Crown plus other verification marks. 3 of the same is strange.
