    No.5 - Updated

    Well after getting a Roman Silver & hammered yesterday, I was bedding in for a tough day. However, on my first run & my first find (dug a few bits of rubbish) was a tiny Gold Celtic coin. My 5th Gold Coin this year (our 6th) Took me 20 years to get my first Celtic Gold, now Dad & I have had 5 in the last 2 years
    We have done this land many times & its full of junk from an old WWI era allotment, we keep clearing the junk every year & it has finally paid of. This coin is no bigger than 10mm.
    (10 man hours)Dad & I.

    Circa 15-10BC

    Pegasus reverse


    How are we going to beat this year

    It was bad enough not being able to keep track of your posts, now I can't even keep track of your gold! Can't imagine what your year post will look like.

    OK, enough accolades................... WOW
    "The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
    For undug coins this is true. For dug coins this is untrue.
    The value will increase with judicious cleaning."

    WOW, spectacular!

    I did manage to get out today before work, and found, clad. Oh well, the dynamic schnauzer duo had fun enjoying the 1st sunny day we've had in about 2 weeks.

    Thanks for sharing...

    Wow, I would be thrilled with those cool buttons.... Does anyone else think that Crusader needs a separate banner just for his finds? I can't keep them all straight
