New field - new finds.
Found my second piece of silver - A late 17th century William III sixpence - Very worn but still!

Awsome finds! Even in the coins condition, it's still better the one most of us have!!! I would be hitting that spot again for sure.

Yeah - I'm hoping to get back hitting the same spot in a few days time - got the farmer's name for the owner of the adjacent fields too so hopefully I can extend that area.

Definately a Love Token. The most popular coin used was a William III Sixpence.

The Livery has more than the normal coating, I like finding these :thumbsup:

Your improving all the time, soon your posted your first hammered & roman coin.

Thanks Mister! But since I've started Metal Detecting I've found I'd rather be out in the field than in the studio - Its addictive isn't it - a pleasant, relaxing addiction but I'm well and truly hooked!
