2025 March finds pageTx Mike gets his freebies for the first monster find of the year Note the skull engraving on the ring Stunning 1721 Gold and black enamel mourning ring - reported as treasure A.M obt 2 May 1721 Maker RD 5g, 22.13mm |
Vir Phill found this in Sept and I reported it as potential treasure to museum as it had that classic 16thC construction. I just got it back disclaimed from the museum ID'd as a bosun's whistle. Record ID: ESS-6715AB - POST MEDIEVAL whistle. A fragment of a silver gilt bosun's whistle of post-medieval date (c.1500-1700). Description: The whistle remains as one half of the ovoid hollow of the whistle which would have been attached to a tube through which air would have been blown into the hollow. The hollow would have been constructed in two halves and joined at their bases. The remaining half has semi-circular cut out which, when joined to the other half would have created a circular opening, allowing the blown air to escape. The fragment is decorated with a raised design in the form of a flower with five heart-shaped petals and a raised knop at its centre. The fragment is slightly bent and retains much of its gilding. Measurements: height: 8.5mm; width: 13.4mm thickness: 9mm weight: 0.75g Discussion: More complete bosuns' whistles with the same decoration recorded on the database and submitted for the consideration as Treasure include SOM-77474D (2017T629) HAMP-D7F787 (2013T746) CAM-AEA9B6 (2018T1014); HESH-DB1922 (2010T456); LVPL-8EE474 (2015T412). These are all dated to within the range of c.1500-1700. |

George III (1760-1820), oval countermark upon Spanish Eight Reales of King Charles IIII (1788-1808), 1792 FM, , small oval hallmark of George III right at centre of obverse, bust of Spanish King laureate and draped right, date below, legend and toothed border surrounding, CAROLVS.IIII. DEI. GRATIA, rev. crowned quartered shield of arms, pillar with ribbon motto either side PLUS ULTRA, legend surrounding, .HISPAN. ET IND. REX. S. 8R.DA. weight 26.92g (ESC 129; Bull 1852; S.3765A). These emergency countermarked coins were struck in relation to a crisis with the silver coinage at the end of the 18th Century where the supply of silver in commerce and for the Mint had dwindled due to the Wars in France after the Revolution in 1797. From March 1797 the Bank of England therefore released stocks of its Spanish dollars each with an oval countermark valued at 4s and 9d for currency. They did not really alleviate the problem of smaller change and were issued on an off with the oval countermark until a more complex larger octagonal mark replaced them from January to May 1804, as the oval pieces were being counterfeited. Eventually the octagonal replacements were also copied widely and the ultimate solution was to have the Soho Mint totally overstrike the Spanish Dollars with the Bank of England design. |

Medieval lead pilgrims ampullae with flower pattern. East Anglia type many made at Walsingham Double V, for Virgo Virginum, Virgin of Virgins, indicating Mary, Mother of God, and forming the W of Walsingham. (The VV symbol has also been used widely as an apotropaic device in house protection.) Pilgrim ampullae - holly water bottle made of lead 12th to 15thC,Mitchiner suggests that many ampullae were used in the annual springtime ’Blessing the Fields’ ceremony, in which the Holy Water they contained was sprinkled on the ground to give prayer for a good harvest. Having served this purpose, Mitchiner suggests that the ampullae were discarded. Others have suggested that the ampullae were buried along with their contents for a similar purpose. It seems to be part of human nature to want to retain some physical object as a connection with a special place or event. Pilgrims have always left for home with souvenirs. Sadly, in the past as today, some are selfish enough to chip away pieces of stones, shrines or statues. It was this sort of vandalism at Christian shrines that led to the appearance of the Medieval trade in pilgrims’ signs or tokens in the 12th century. Such signs, stitched to hats or cloaks, had practical value in offering genuine safe passage for pilgrims on their homeward journeys, even in times of war. They also gave prestige and proof that a person had actually done what they had set out to do. But, more than this, they were regarded as holy in themselves through having been in direct contact with the relics or tomb of a saint. Signs were used as amulets for protection on the way home and to bring healing and other blessings to pilgrims themselves and to their friends and families. They were often buried in fields or placed in wells to bring abundance or weed-free crops, and placed in the home as apotropaic devices. Healing remedies could be made by dipping signs in water or wine to be drunk. It was the shrine to St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury that made souvenir holy water containers popular. People have always gathered water from sacred springs and rivers, but this holy water, it was believed, contained an infinitesimal portion of the blood of the murdered bishop, thoughtfully gathered by the monks who discovered him. The water was believed to effect cures, and the practice soon spread to other shrines, although remaining a particularly English phenomenon. These containers, called ampullae, were usually small, flat, bag-shaped, lead vials. Filled with holy water at the shrine and touched to the saint’s tomb or relic, they were worn hung around the neck. |

19thC Royal Artillery button | 1500-1700 mount | Huge 2ndC Roman bronze coin - sent for ID 15.49g, 29.3mm dia 5.24mm thick It's definitely a sestertius. See the "S - C" in reverse fields - well, any Roman Æ of this era will have an SC on the reverse somewhere, but these are particularly large and bold letters, given the amount of space available. it's a little light, but that may have to do with what appears to be multiple plow strikes - the surviving diameter is large enough for it to be a sestertiuis. - The obverse doesn't give me much beyond a vague silhouette of the face to work with, but I believe it's probably Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD) Mark |

16thC stone/ musket/cannon balls 5.1g,17.42mm 21g, 27.5mm 24g, 26.99m Stone canon balls, or shot, were made by hand by an experienced stonemason. The process was, and still is (can be made for living history demos but not fired ), a time consuming job. Material would have been any hard natural stone that was available, usually sand stone but sometimes granite. The stone would be hand worked to small radius sections and then rubbed up with a stone block. A reverse section template would be used for accuracy. |
