Short Farm Shop Hunt...

[CRUSADER]

We return to the Farm Shop that we got the nice Irish Hammered on, as they had ploughed up & flatted a small 1 acre plot with nothing planted yet.
It was raining the whole time but I'm pleased to see it, as we are trying a new grass field tomorrow & I hope it will help :P

For 2.5 hours (5 man hours) we were happy with the result, specially the small hammered Halfpenny of Elizabeth I 1590-92, only 0.24g, I thought it was James I when I found it but this is much better as I have 1 James I similar but this is my first Lizzy Halfpenny The 11" coil does it again Dad did well with the cut hammered shortcross, not in good condition & stumped on an ID with the mint ending EWE Still a 2 hammered outing

Part of a 1st AD Roman Bronze Ring fragment with a small piece of Glass or Carnelian showing.
Small Roman Fibula (not pitured well )
2 Medieval Leather Mounts
Cloth & bag seal
Happy with the 17th C Spur Buckle (I think a new variant for the collection)
& bits...

Nice digging Cru,
That halfpenny is a little fellow. Neat to see it in a sized item that can be compared to. Good stuff Man.
Take Care,
Pete,

Really nice finds, I have to say though, for some reason, the little toy train wheel is my favorite.

You and your Dad did well today Cru!

Two bad about that 1st AD Roman Bronze Ring not being complete.

Call me crazy but . . . these two relics are my favourites!

Thanks everyone, it was good to get out, even in the rain. Its been a long week workwise

 

[Westfront]

The halfpenny is stunning. The GMP is pure hell on small silver... Sorry that the ring is broken...its a very nice one, much bigger than the ones we can get here. Must be rich romans in Uk!
