Today’s Finds xx

[blossom]

Well considering it is June, was surprised to be dodging rain showers and still be wearing jumpers… but hey, at least we were out and about. We are at that difficult time of year when limited to grass fields, the cover strips are still ankle breaking plough, so we went back to the castle fields and did battle with the electric fences!

A lovely little complete crotal bell, livery button, bit of a buckle, buckle, Simon’s name tag, 2 bits, little anchor button, buttons, those 2 silver ones gave me heart failure 😂… some crusty pre dec coins, 2 slightly better pre dec coins, a mammoth pre dec (George 3rd?) and finally my lovely George 3rd 1820 sixpence and last pic is the 2 George coins so you can get an idea of the size difference!

Also known as a Bullhead

In the United Kingdom, the shilling was a coin used from the reign of Henry VII until decimalisation in 1971. Before decimalisation there were twenty shillings to the pound and twelve pence to the shilling, and thus 240 pence to the pound.

At decimalisation the shilling was superseded by the decimal five pence piece, which initially was of identical size and weight and had the same value.

The word shilling comes from schilling, an accounting term that dates back to Anglo-Saxon times where it was deemed to be the value of a cow in Kent or a sheep elsewhere.

Congrats!

Crotal bell. Enough for a declared success.
Followed then per par per course fasteners and bits and pieces of what holds /held a society together as usual.
Apparently buttons and buckles and decimals...

Ol George looking almost refreshed after his long nap.
And everyone march victoriously from the field this day ; again!!

 

[cudamark]

That six pence is sure in nice shape. Doesn't look like old George missed too many meals!
