Coin Finds Only / Todays Hammys

« Last post by Tip-tiques on June 27, 2020, 05:55:09 PM »

Not everyday you find two Scottish hammered in one day. Was just getting in the swing of it when the predicted thunder storm arrived. Not sure what to think on todays finds, lets face it, the Groat (1/2 groat, maybe not a groat) is torn, the Alexander penny, I think, is wasted, like the Edward 1/2 penny, I think which leaves the 1/2 cut Carles 2nd 20p piece, I think. Anyone who can ID these coins better than I have please have a go, I am only guessing.

General Chit Chat / Hello all Jimmyd here

Just saying hello i was Jimmyd on the old forum. I took some time out a couple of years ago and sold my equipment but for some reason recently found myself watching old youtube vids of detecting, reviews and of course Hammyhunters vids of your digs. Hoping to get back into it asap. Had some great times at Toddy's digs (i was the quiet shy guy at time who diddnt get involved in banter much and kept myself to myself but loved it all the same)
Havent been on any digs elsewhere (except my garden where i found a 1912 penny i think  ) but found lots on the digs when i went including my first and only hammy so far, my early bronze age axe head in Perth as seen in the searcher magazine with the other guys from here. I think i was first that day to find one then you guys trumped me with the hoard of BA axes, albeit not as old as mine 
Hope to see yous soon and stay safe

How would they have put them on as the hands would slip back out.

One of these finds that really intrigues me, how were they lost and more importantly who has worn them, 40s - 60s maybe.
