Evening All,

Great News! After many wasted £££s , an external speaker finally arrived from a well known site wot delivers which a) emits sound and b) emits a sound not unlike what one would hear through the backphones i usually use, so filming starts tomorrow weather permitting!

Anyway, managed an hour or two in windswept Herts, using earbuds instead of the WS4 backphones - and you dot miss much with those i hardly heard the wind just felt its force.... I think the hammy is Henry VIII (which denomination though i am not sure I've lost me Spink!) as i recognize the "cullottes" from a coin i found a year or so ago... or did other monarchs strike a similiar pose?

The William III guinea is a very welcome first and as I coudn't really concentrate after that i used the wind as an excuse and packed up for the day!

All the B
Alexander

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking

Very well found Alex. Neither are common finds and either of them would be very welcome to most of us (especially the yellow one) :D :thumbsup:
