I know it’s not what you’ll find often
so I thought I’d post it. Angie found this Victorian Florin 1848
in a field at first she thought it was silver paper but luckily she kept it.
In the field there had been stationed
the Royal Scots regiment around the tern of the century.
How it came to be burnt who knows?
This is what it should have
looked like
These three silver shillings all came from the same hole. We were told that there was an WWI army rest point or tea point in this small field we were detecting on. We found a number of WWI artefacts.
I wondered if maybe a young soldier sat down to rest with his chums and the silver coins fell out of his pocket into the mud.
Did his old Mother save them up and as she kissed him goodbye she slipped them into his pocket before waving him goodbye. Who knows, did he return or maybe like the coins he too was lost in the mud in France..
This group all date from 1930s to 50s
Found in a park we had permission to detect in. The cut sixpences were run over by the lawnmower.
These coins all came from the same Field.
a Elisabeth 2nd Two shilling bit or two bob and a sixpence or “tanner” ,they all have a reddish tint because they have a low Silver content. The other coin is a George VI 1945 brass Threepenny bit or “joey” 'two bob'or 'one bob'any shiling could have bob after it = Before 1971 bob was one of the most commonly used English, slang words. Origin un known. It dates back to the late 1700's. tanner = sixpence (6d). The slang word 'tanner' meaning sixpence dates from the early 1800's and is derived most probably from Romany gypsy 'tawno'
Joey slang word seems reasonably certainly to have been named after the politician Joseph Hume (1777-1855),
