I'll have to find them so will show you later but it's literally green coin shaped bits of metal with no detail and supposedly no chance of ever having detail cleaned up

Roman silver green? Wonder if they're debased silver.
Brown/black/grey usually mostly
Have a look at some of the examples shown in the club link

Got the "You dick" award that day.
I'll wear that as a badge of honour finding out the results later.

Soooooo many hammered coins, think like 1200s the oldest?

Well I had to thunk about it-Yup got an earlier one.

Showoff hehe

Just being finicky on details
1200
When it was earlier by 11 yrs
Like that's part of a whole reign sir-need to get the history right you know.

I still remember digging this up on an Abby, raining, wet, muddy clay.
Wiped it off and then tried to secure it in the pouch, and it just kept getting stuck on the glove.
Finally I shed the glove, bare fingered it into a pice of tissue and into the zippered section.

Certainly a rare piece being on a sq. planchet.

Now not to tell you what to display as everybody's likes are different.

But if the Cap't suggests pull-tabs
Just be nice and let him down easy ok.
He's got this thing about those ring pulls

Awesome looking case John-I'm sure you have a few items that will be in there without any problem.

Tab nightmares.

"There he was with his detector screaming on the screen a ring symbol... over and over hole after hole... nothing more than pull tabs."
