Arrow Head Hill - Day 3 - GOLD COIN!!!!!

[CRUSADER]

This huge field is about the last one with failed crop. Dad said yesterday that we should do the small corner piece at the bottom of the hill, I said I wanted to go to the top. In the morning I had changed my mind & I had decided to cover this small 1/2 acre piece which was very trashy but I hoped for a nice button or capbadge. Imagine my surprise when after 50 minutes of trash digging out popped a Goldie. My second this year... Someone must have trown it out with the trash!
We then started on the top of the hill after finishing the small area - we both did 4 hours.

5 Scrappies
4 Lead Tokens
1807 Penny
1721 Halfpenny
18th C Halfpenny Token
Medieval Buckles
Medieval Coin Weight
Seal Fob - missing the stone
Livery Button
Section of a Roman Bracelet
My first Eleborate 14th C Strap-end for a Sword Belt
1853 Gold Half Sovereign

Do I ever have a bad day? You will all be the first to know.

Beautiful find on the Gold Half Sovereign Cru!
But for me personally, I prefer the half crotal and the scrappies!

Nice gold coin. I vote BANNER also, because i always say any gold coin found with a metal detector is deserving of it. Mike.

Awesome find Crusader!! Always a treat to see a dug gold coin!!

Like Eric, I am also stumped. What is the E in the date all about??

 

[Nutriasub]

Once more you amaze me! I wish to find half the gold coins you have found! Big congrats!

What is the little coin like object next to the seal fob, with a person on it?

One little request we all would love...could you show us all your fold coins together? Is it possible? It must be an amazing sight!

Once again congratulations!

[JimDon]

Congrats. Heading over in October and hope to find some gold myself.

Amazing find, congrats!

Nicely done...your instincts paid off!

 

[pepperj]

Congrats on the gold coin, they don't pop out that often even in your neighborhood and I can just imagine that there has been thousands of holes dug between the gold finds. The only thing that would out trump the sovereign in my books would be getting a Noble.

Unless I've had too may pints tonight, the date in your pic looks like "18E3" to me...was it damaged?? Looks like that coin has seen a bit of circulation...what year were they in circulation until in the UK? Nice Victoria gold!

Its just a bit damaged/worn.

I think it was 1915 when they stopped being legal tender but they still mint the same coin for collections/bullion.

awesome as usual

It sounds like you are having a bad day on many of your replies I read, but maybe that's still having a good day in the UK. Sort of like if the weather is overcast there, it's still a nice sunny day as long as it's not raining.

Oh yeah, nice gold.

congrats on the gold! Love the pic of all your gold coins, certainly makes me drool.
