I am really fortunate that in Norfolk I dig up medieval silver hammered coins fairly frequently, but seldom do I get to see as much detail as on this one found this week, absolutely gorgeous. It's an Edward I penny, Type 7b minted in London 1292-1296AD. Pity about the plough dink, otherwise perfect.

I always hope to dig up something I've not found before; last week this little fella delivered. No portrait on this unusual coin, just crowned roses on both sides, it being a Charles I half groat 1625-42. Bent as a 'love token' was a bonus, my earliest example, but tricky to photograph.

While detecting last week I found this tiny duck. Guess I could say I went duck hunting. I brought him home to live with my other, once lost animal toys. I'm making a zoo

I occasionally dig up foreign coins, but this one is a first for me, a hammered French 'Douzain au Deux C' of Charles IX. Unfortunately both the year and mint mark are illegible, but dates from 1560-1574. Made mostly of copper with a little bit of silver.

Finding a tiny child's thimble today. These wonderful little objects always please me. This sweet little one is in perfect shape, it should clean up nicely.

We've made a bottle vase wall in our kitchen. Having vases at head height is cool, can't wait for Sweetpea season, cos these will smell lovely when wafting past them.

I'm new here & not sure how this works. So I'm finding my feet with this video of a Charles 1st coin. Do i do hash tags? Can you hear the video? Please be kind while I learn how to 🔵sky .
