This is why I took most of my holiday this week. Who needs sun,sea & sand (apart from beach detectorist ;)) Hit the right field at the right time :)

I have just got back from this mornings hunt & had to share, the rest I will post after the PM hunt.

Its my earliest, best, most valuable Gold coin so far & doubles my Dad's Qrter Noble ;D

I AM PUMPED - I thought this year may produce a gold but was beginning to lose faith.

UPDATED

(to keep everyone happy)
Dutch coin of EDWARD III period
Cica 1351 - 1352
HALF NOBLE
3.32gms of 21-22 Cwt Gold.
These are so rare, I don't have the proper books to id (nor did the experts I spoke to). I am not worried about a full Dutch Provence id. Dutch is good enough :) However if you know, I will be happy to hear?
Valued at auction £300-400 + but depends on full ID

It was badly bent by the plough & I carefully unfolded it (I don't recommend this). Its chewed up abit but at least its all there!

FIND OF A LIFETIME.

WOW! Super find!

How thin is it? Looks thinner than a US dime... Also amazing detail for being so old and in the ground so long. It this typical for gold coins?

Bud, did you tell the farmer yet? He may want it.

No we show this farmer after we finish the field unless its Treasure Trove (which this isn't). I will probably give him $200 (£100) to keep it.

This hobbie costs me money as I never sell stuff. (other than the odd item)

FANTASTIC!!!!! You deserve this one, Crusader! What a beautiful coin. What is wonderful is that it is not only gold but also in great shape. I'm glad the unbending of the coin worked out without a hitch. This is banner material for sure. Been a while since the banner has changed. It's about time!

Congrats!

Yo, dude, how much was that coin worth back in the 1350s to the person carrying it? A dollar?

A Half Noble was worth - 40 Pennies

40 Pennies = 80 Halfpennies

40 Pennies = 160 Farthings

1 farthing would buy you a number of items.

This would be 4 months wages for 90% of the populus. Only 10% of people would ever see one.

I know, but it my honesty that has got me the land in the first place. So I will continue show every farmer 100% of what I find on their land.

Fair enough, but there some things that need to be kept secret...that is my opinion, if I knew the landowner would want it. I do tell the landowners what I find though...BUT, if I found a gold coin, my lips would be sealed...that is just me and I bet others on here would agree, but won't state it so bluntly.
