Title: Re: todays finds from the rally at rooks bridge. Post by: handyman [Alan} on November 08, 2009, 07:40:58 PM i've narrowed it down to james 1st 3rd coinage, 1619 -1625.
the bust is possibly he sixth bust, of around 1621 -24. spink 2668 or 2670 comes very close to it. cheers handy Title: Re: todays finds from the rally at rooks bridge.

Title: Re: todays finds from the rally at rooks bridge. Post by: benny on November 08, 2009, 09:41:35 PM I reckon that shilling is from the first coinage looking through Spinks now. Peter,any chance of an ID when your on here next mate? Was shaking for a while after it popped out the soil. could've been found with the most basic of tectors was just under the surface. Just lucky to go over the top of it! ;D
Title: Re: todays finds from the rally at rooks bridge. Post by: The Doc on November 08, 2009, 10:03:16 PM It's a great find benny and was good to see it in the flesh. The mintmark on the reverse is clearly an escallop, which dates it to 1606-7. The mintmark on the obverse just looks like a blob, which is strange. I think the coin should be second coinage, fourth bust, Spink 2655.
Title: Re: todays finds from the rally at rooks bridge. Post by: Terry on November 08, 2009, 10:17:30 PM I found an object with what looks like a pin on the top, do you think i should remove the pin,
Title: Re: todays finds from the rally at rooks bridge. Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on November 08, 2009, 10:21:09 PM its an egg terr, pull out the pin and sit on it to keep it warm. You may have a slight ringing sensation in your ears....fortunately the rest of your body will no longer be near them.
