Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

Here's one of the items PAS mentioned they found interesting
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Richard-Duke-of-York-Silver-Livery-Badge-1473-1483-AD_W0QQitemZ260036025044QQihZ016QQcategoryZ60201QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Fortunately, the dealer says it was found prior to the Treasure Act, so that's lucky.

Same with this, from the same dealer

So that's even luckier.

Scan ebay for silver shillings. For a while it was cheaper to buy silver as coins on ebaY than pay the market price. I've still got three or four left - I thought they'd make pirate earrings - then shot a small film and gave everyone in it one of them ...

Going to see the PFO soon, with a bit of wood and a piece of stone. After that, they go up for sale !
