The well worn silver coin is definitely French. It is a 1 Franc Semeuse named after the female sower figured at the reverse. It was minted after the original design from the engraver Louis-Oscar Roty between 1898 and 1920 - 15 million coins in 1898 and 440 million in total. It contains 835/1000 silver and weigthed originally 5 grammes each. Demonatized in 1924, the 1 Franc silver coin was replaced in 1920 by an ugly cooper-aluminium coin... The same design 1 Franc Semeuse came back between 1960 and 2001 (until the Euro took over) but, this time, it was made out of nickel.

Nicely done Serge - although I think it's a half Franc, so 50 centimes. Everything else I'd agree with. The date on a 1 Fr is right at the bottom milling and whereas John's has the date higher up - the same as the French 50c. Easy way to tell, the 50 centimes is 2.5 grams while the 1 Fr as you correctly say is 5g while the 2 Fr is 10g and the 5 Fr is 25g. The beauty of a silver standard! Great work John again !!

Looked up the meaning of an iris flower, it means faith, hope courage and wisdom. The chalice you found could very well be older than you think and possibly from the old church and was used as a communion chalice. When a church fell out of use it wasn't uncommon for some of the churches items to be sold for revenue.

The Vatican is gonna come after you now…or perhaps the knights Templar. I truly appreciate your live digs. Showing every step of the dig, as well as the imprint of the coin, is awesome. Other American metal detecting folks, show the coin down in a pre-dug hole…not so good…could’ve been tossed into an open hole. Hmmm. I like your process.

Great adventure! Thanks for taking us along. GRAIL form would be called a FOOTED BOWL or a PEDISTAL BASED BOWL. The flowers are irises and the decoration reminds me of the Arts and Crafts style of the William Morris period. In the US, Tiffany studios used similar relief images of irises and daffodils on architectural and decorative items. If you could find an Arts and Crafts metal worker they might tell you more. Take a picture with Google Photo and let Google do an image search. The quality of the piece makes me think that it was not accidentally dropped or thrown away as trash. What would this type of item be doing on a farm? So, was it hidden against the threat of theft, tax- or debt -collectors or envious relatives? If it was purposely hidden, what else might have been hidden nearby? Was it found near any unique features that would help someone find it again? Are there any four features in the landscape that could create two lines that would intersect where you found this? What stories might this find tell? Fabulous day! WELL DONE... AGAIN!

When you said 'holy grail', I immediately pictured an Angel of Richard III..! 🤣 You had a great day anyway. The grail has iris flowers, and I agree that it looks Art Deco or maybe Art Nouveau. It looks a bit like flower bowls you can get at the florist's. You put some foam in the bottom, and stick flowers in it. There should be a cemetery nearby...

The "Holy Grail' is spectacular. It looks like a cup my Aunt Beatrice had from the 1920's. She was a "Flapper" and she performed at dance halls in Atlantic City, New Jersey. She lived in the old Claridge Hotel, and worked as a secretary for many years for a law firm. The things she had in her suite were beautiful, although my family thought they were all junk, so they put most of her things in a rummage sale. I kept a couple of things she had, but unfortunately not the cup. I think the French coin is a 2 Franc piece, that's a very nice find from a field in Perthshire, Scotland. John, you must continue searching on that field! Take care! p.s. my wife says you need to put some triple antibiotic ointment on that cut!

The chalice/ goblet/ cup is (I think) a great deal older than 20th Century. Look for a connection to the ancient chapel/ church site. What a find. Well done.

That chalice is gorgeous! It looks art deco or around that time. Maybe used in an Easter service. So gorgeous. It looks like there might be a mark on the bottom on the edge of the center. You might want to get the metal checked before you drink out of it. The big flowers are Iris. I agree with greenspiritarts when you said scrap value, I yelled "NO!" in my head so loudly I figured you could hear it even two days ago. 😊 I am impressed at how hard you work. You must have incredible strength the way you dig.

The pewter chalice is, as you say amazing. The flowers look like irises, lovely in relief work, fantastic find. Well done. It's very art nouveau in design too. I looked into the language of flowers and irises are used to tell the receiver they will soon be getting a message, maybe from a loved one. Victorian's were really into the meanings of flowers.

I didn't know that there was a message in the flowers! I'm going to look into it now. I have a pitcher from the 1880s that's porcelain, soft pink, with white lillies of the valley in relief in panels on each side of it. I just assumed it was a pretty design, and i have saved it for my 13 year old whose middle name is Lily.
