I hope you enjoy this slightly different film and if so let us know, many thanks for watching everybody!

    It's me Melanie, Bill Rigby, [still having log-in problems] many thanks for your call today, it was so nice of you to think about me and many thanks to the caller in Australia who, via you, responded to my article in 'The Detectorist; I have visited the sites you mentioned, I have seen pictures of the ring and now know that it was not a specially made 'one-off' but a ring produced early in WW2, it is apparently rare and seems to be a collectors item, but it is not for sale as it is already promised to one of my grandsons who is prominent in one of the WW2 re-enactment brigades. Give my regards to Graeme and look forwards to seeing his smiling face on Tuesday.

    Hi Graeme, I hope that you and Mel and families are well. That Noble certainly is a whopper Graeme! As you say, only the very rich and Noble ever exchanged them in number, and because the nobility were a minority, the real money stayed with them? The only gold hammered coins that I've ever seen and held are a gold Angel. found by a friend of mine, and a gold Stater that was found at a small rally many moons ago now. Gold is, in it's self, a wondrous thing. I think that it is warm, and alluring, yet somehow 'calculating' and dangerous also ....Thanks for showing these coins, and explaining some of the history that they represent. Stay safe my friend.

    Very informative Graeme, as an intrest what are the weights of the different coins? As they don't look very heavy.

  • @OriginalMudSlinger
    @OriginalMudSlinger Před 3 lety +2

    hammered coins need to be weighed before assuming they have been clipped because they was cut out at the mint and if it was slightly over they would nip a bit of until it was correct weight just because it looks clipped does not mean it is . great show mate thanks

    Hans Holbein, court painter to Henry VIII earned £30 a year (or thereabouts). I'm told only one gold coin has ever been found at Vindolanda; the logic being there's no point in paying anyone in gold to buy a round when the pub doesn't have enough change.
    Nice coins Graeme.

      Sightly different in the roman times chris, gold coins were mainly used in bulk payments and paying off the enemy, the romans along the wall enjoyed many decades of peace until in house fighting took over

      If they are single coins and not part of a hoard then its then between the landowner and the finder with regards to what happens to the coin, some split it 50/50, sometimes the landowner wants to keep it etc depending on the agreement you have in place
