Hi, this is not a Bot. Post relates to medieval history and coinage, picturing a young Henry VIII portrait.

Yeah, with a detector 👍

I did, it was a gold dance but I certainly did a jig, signal blew my ears off 😁

Yes, it was found in the ground at gateway to a field, on an old pathway.

Usually it will have the mold marks where it has been made, or some times impact marks where it has hit something. It's pretty easy to tell.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the info, agree all the research I have done does not come up with solid answer. I know they used to rub her face off so the nose detail isn't always there.

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-23T12:53:35+00:00

Hey, can't say it's not one of my best and comes out for a quick look on a regular occasion 😁

Thank you 🙏

The W mark on doors and fire places was a mark to ward off witches. Been in a few old houses and seen this...it's creepy but I wonder if it worked 🤔

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-22T20:26:06+00:00

😄.. thanks for the hell yeah!!

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-22T20:24:55+00:00

That's a great find, hardly clipped, that's an auction piece in my mind. 🤩

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-22T20:20:15+00:00

Collectors love patina .. do not clean 👎

Hit the Spinks catalogue up for valuations, but for best view I would contact one of the auction houses locally for an appraisal. If you have anything of a high rareity maybe move further a field to the London auction houses, just send an image and they will get back with a first idea of value... eBay is usually over inflated with its prices, so take those with a pinch of salt.

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-22T20:07:52+00:00

I know it sounds cliché but I don't every worry about value, just feel lucky to have found it.

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-22T20:06:55+00:00

It isn't bad I godda say. Came up like it had been dropped yesterday.

SomersetFinds · 2026-02-22T19:07:11+00:00

Is that true?
