Cru'Dads 3 Year Gold Coin Slump - ENDS TODAY!!!

Firstly as Cru'Dad is not a member please save any wasted banner votes as they don't count.

Our plan for the day was simple finish off the edges of a couple of Roman Sites. We guessed it may take an hour or two per site & we would hit 3 sites. Well the first site took 3 hours 30 minutes & the second took 2 hours, with 30 minutes on a neighbouring field. (6 hours total)
Dad started well with a 1st C AD Hod Hill Fibula & was in the lead with the Roman Coin count (end result was 10 to Dad 17 to me )
However, after close to 3 years with no gold coins Dad finally hit this lovely Qrter Gold Stater of Tasciovanus (20BC), see full details on link:
UK Finds Database - - - UKDFD
The story is this; after yesterday when I only got 1 button, I said 30 minutes into the hunt that it would be hard to get one today, you guessed it the next dig was a button. So I said, what I meant was 'it will be hard to get a Celtic Gold today', as a joke because we had no chance. After another 30 minutes or so, Dad flipped an inch & a half of soil over & said in such a way 'I don't believe it' that I shout 'you got a Celtic Gold, haven't you?' I got the camera out but the pictures never came out well, sorry!

Congrats Cru-Dad! My that is a tiny gold coin! At least it's tough for a plow to damage something that small. I don't know how you can call three years between gold coins a "slump"? I have went 27 years without a gold coin

I totally agree, it's near impossible (but happens) for modern machinery to do any damage to such a tiny coin, but equally the deep plough could have turned it down (as well as up) to the Cortes.

You are right we Know many detectorist's who have never had any Gold Coins, but we just record it as it is.
