This is how I found my second Gold Coin of the year:

Friday I found a Bishop Stortford 1667 token. This token sparked an interest by Shaun7 who lives quite near that place. He looked up a couple of farms in the area, gave them a ring, & the rest is history! THANKS SHAUN ;D

I was extremely lucky to find this, the field we tried are some of the hardest I have done! I was pleased with the Medieval Buckle.

Its a Gold Half Guinea 1777. Strange thing is that a few years ago Cru'dad had a Guinea of the same date - spooky!

What is amazing about this very large roman coin is that it came from one of our most hunted Villa/possible Roman Watchtower sites.
I'm 100% sure I have detected over this coin/area on more than 10 occasions. Must have been out of depth & popped up this year.

Cru,
What an amazing BANNER gold coin! You deserve it for all the hard work you put in those fields. A BIG congrats to you.
I think you owe Shaun a few at the local pub.
Cheers,
MM
