I found this Henry viii groat last weekend on pasture about 9in deep. Very happy as its my first decent silver hammered for ages and a new monarch in my finds. Not the greatest pics as light was poor but I'll redo soon. Lightly cleaned with silver foil and saliva method just enough to bring up detail.
I have finally got round to buying a display cabinet for my finds. This one was £40 from IKEA and perfect for the job. There isn't space for every last item but it made me realise how much crap I've been keeping. I've consigned all the rubbish to one box but still not chucked it! I still need to find a good way to display the hundreds of copper pennies and halfpennies but no room for now! |
