Title: 150912, Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 15, 2012, 06:23:21 PM Well techony and I tried a new field this afternoon and were quite surprised with what turned up. A very interesting Iron weight with a cross shape through the middle. What could it have been used for?
The usual buttons, bullets, thimble, coin and a beautiful beehive trade token. [more on this can be found here http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/DH.Warks.123.001.html (http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/DH.Warks.123.001.html) ] enjoy Title: Re: 150912, Post by: handyman [Alan} on September 15, 2012, 06:24:31 PM more

Title: Re: 150912, Post by: Techony on September 16, 2012, 08:20:58 AM Great finds Al. I love the beehive token and the way the soldier has a dandelion seed prosthetic leg ;D
My finds weren't as exciting; what with a George V penny and buckle plate vying for top position in the pouch. The little silver blob thing looks more like a moltem aluminim blob rather than an exciting bit of silver now that its been cleaned. But the surprise of the day is that the small grotty oval copper coin/token thing with XII (like a charles Shilling) on the obverse has actually revealed itself to be the centre of a Charles I Shilling. Talk about clipped! Anyway, here's the pictures, Enjoy... Title: Re: 150912, Post by: WeCan-Octavian on September 16, 2012, 08:55:13 AM Some nice finds, well done ;D

Well done indeed, |
