Bent coin,now straightened

[simonthesearcher]

Found this coin bent very tightly in half.I heated it up with a lighter,then dipped in cold water and opened a little.Then repeated it until it was opened all the way.Im not sure what it is yet but think it a Edward 2nd which would make it from about 1307 to the mid 1300,s

Wow, that is a nice find. I sometimes wished I lived in england so I could have the chance to find stuff like this!

I know someone who went to england and found the same coin. . I never realized all of the stuff you can find over there. he also found an axe head from the bronze age and many roman coins. Nice find!!!

Nice coin...maybe it's even Edward I? They both issued coins with the same text. Hard to tell them apart.
