I bought this print drawer set as a detecting finds overflow case. After the last few months, I'm having a re-think.

With a few rare exceptions, the only coin minted from around AD 780 - 1279 was the penny. Fractions were simply the penny cut in half or quarters. These are my three oldest Penny, Cuthred king of Kent, 798-807 Halfpenny, Cnut, 1029-1037 Farthing, Aethelred II, 997-1003

Not too much more this afternoon. Not sure if that's a big button or stud. The eye is just a bent over pin

Hammered, well, the remains there of.... Broken in antiquity An Edward, 1st or 2nd.

This afternoons coin completes an Irish triple, penny, halfpenny and farthing, all minted at Dublin. Penny of John Halfpenny & Farthing of Edward I.

My grid went very quiet after the initial flurry. I'm still happy with that though 😁

Big Roman coin now 😊

If you could see my face right now. Well happy with this one 😁 An Irish medieval silver farthing of Edward I, minted in Dublin?

First find up this afternoon. A little medieval / post medieval buckle.

This is why I keep going over the same fields, again, and again. From this part of the field (80acres) I've found abt 125 hammered coins. The other part (40acres) has also produced another 125 hammered coins, in 9 years.

Found the little begger.... again.... ended up under handbrake lever, luckily being an automatic, I rarely use it, otherwise it may have been gone forever 😂 I think Edward II, type 30, 1310-1314 Very little lead, a few buttons, a bit of tractor 😂

That's me for today. Too hot now. Only other find worth mentioning, a Penny of Queen Victoria. Time hasn't been kind to her. Update later, when I've found the farthing..... again..... Dropped between front seats in car 🤦🏻‍♂️

Most agreeable 🥰 Medieval silver farthing, probably an Edward.

First signal today. In terrible condition, but is clearly a roman brooch, honest. They all count 😊

The 1st of August has been a busy digging day in the past. I have 70 items to choose from. Three of my favourites. A 17th century trade token of George Flinte of Stowmarket, 1665 Roman silver Denarius of Hadrian, AD 117-138 A silver groat of Philip & Mary, 1554-1558

Nipped over to View Point Cafe for lunch 😋

That's the result of 4 hours of searching on the beach, covered a lot of ground today.

#PostBoxSaturday On a main route in Woodbridge, Suffolk. I wonder how many people have noticed it?

I think this afternoons hammered coin is a silver penny of Edward IV. Minted in Durham with locally made dies. S1988A. AD 1461-2 And the most obvious thing about it is the off centre strike 😲

"Sunbather" A badly struck medieval penny/halfpenny. Looks worn and clipped, but I don't think it is.

Haven't found one of these for a while, Neolithic / Early Bronze hammer stone 🥰

First find up this afternoon, a 4 holed button, made br Firmins of London.

That's the best of this afternoons search. Jarred my elbow digging in a tramlines, so calling it a day 🤦🏻‍♂️

Lubbly jubbly 😁 Medieval silver penny of Edward I / II

First up this afternoon, halfpenny of George V, 1927

30th July 2004 A rather splendid Roman Denarius of Emperor Hadrian surfaced 🥰 AD 119-138

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark It was mostly dark when I took out and temporarily blocked up the window 😁

A few hours down the beach this afternoon. Had to work to find these few. But have a possible Megalodon fragment 🥰

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark Jaw dropping darkness 🥰
