Any value 1607 silver shilling

One thing you could do is look for similar ones in the sold section of the famous auction-site-which-cannot-be-named, print them off and show the landowner what they realistically sell for. With any luck he will say thank you for your honesty, just keep it.

Unlikely to get a match for the coin and condition, and said site often has "chancers" hoping to get more than the coin is worth, but worth a try.

there is a facebook group that could give you a better idea of what the coin is worth, British hammered and milled coins, they buy, sell and auction said coinage.

I will only ever search the sold section for coins that have been sold. The unsold ones vary a lot.

It is a good group but I believe they have closed down the site to a certain extent as there was a bit of friction between some of the detectorists and the numismatists.

you can still get a valuation bud

You can if you get invited to the group. I believe it is now secret so you can't find it on facebook but worth trying.

Slightly off topic but I believe that any coin found detecting, especially a hammy, is worth 100 bought ones. There's something very special about saying to yourself 'I found that' , and where and when. It all adds to the historical jigsaw of my location. Its why local museums often display coins and artefacts that could be bought for less than 100 quid on eBay, because the monetary value is just one aspect, and often secondary to the local importance of a find.
A coin or artefact takes on much more sentimental value to me if I found it in my area, than if I bought it from a dealer or on the net.

I'm not sure if I agree with monetary value being put on artefacts such as bronze age, Saxon etc. Its very superficial.

That said I am an avid collector and when I can afford it, shell out silly money for early milled silver coins-albeit in a condition that you just won't find with a detector. But my small collection of 'worthless' hammies found by me take on much the same value in a different way in my mind.
