Edward the Confessor mint and moneyer?

[jelida 1,243]

This small flan penny of Edward the Confessor was found by a detecting cub member on a rally in the south of England,  and I am trying to identify the mint and moneyer. The latter seems to read ESTAN or similar, and the mint clearly ends in DI  but I cannot find the combination in North or Seaby and would welcome some help here! 
Thanks, Jerry

Way out of my knowledge area in numismatics, but as a Classicist, it appears to read LINDI which is the genitive of LINDVM (Lindum) which was Lincoln. So, Estan on (=of) Lincoln ???  Or could it read LVNDI which is London ??

Hope that helps a bit! Probably not!

That may well help, and Lincoln was my first thought when I saw the photo, but there seems to be an extra letter(s) and Estan is not listed in North.

I will see what I can find on the EMC website.

AESTAN worked at Winchester and Warwick in the time of Edward the Confessor according to the EMC, but I can’t see either of those in the mint name.

He also was one of the Doormen at the 'Ye Pyg and Whystel',

since it used to get a bit rough at chucking out time, after five flagons of mead.....

Martin Allen has now recorded the coin and all is explained!
