I know your group put the time & money in, it would be somewhat of a shame if you didn't go home with one. I'm just happy I live here & its free, otherwise it would take the edge off it. Its an amazing hobby which is unpredictable which makes it more exciting, last year I had 5, I would have expected 1 this year but its unlikely to happen now :wink: Still plenty of land next year :sign13:

I'm happy for your continued success, you have clearly transitioned well to UK field hunting :hello2:

It was so great seeing and holding those beauties Ron.
Your one bad ass out in those fields and deserve them hands down, as they are as rare as hen's teeth.
Enjoyed the time spent hunting in your shadow over the past couple of weeks, and the memories will last for many. :headbang: :coffee2:
The vote's in on this one!

Thanks crusader. I would be in a wheel chair if I lived over there, I just can't get enough. Although after 3 weeks of 11 hours a day detecting I almost need traction. LOL I have enjoyed drooling over your posts for a couple years now! Keep the good stuff coming,
It seems to me gold coins were more widely used and circulated in the UK then here in the states. Plus all the mideval, georgan and Victorian Love tokens and ritual/good harvest offerings by the Celts.
In the Spring 2 of my team found Saxon gold coins a hoard reported as treasure, it will probably be purchased by the British museum. Here are the pic's
