I had set my goals for the week in England fairly low.
All I wanted to find was a silver coin. It could be milled or hammered. I didn't care.
All I heard from others was , "I got a hammy!"
The guys didn't understand when I could not find a silver coin (after finding a gold torc piece), why I was still upset. I know I should have been blown away by the Torc, but I just wanted to find a silver coin.
So... on the last day I was there, I found my silver milled coin and i was really happy.It was a 1912 Silver six pence. Not anything special, but I had met my goal. I was headed back towards our lunch meeting spot when the rain and wind started to get fierce. Moving across the field, I got a great signal, but thought it was probably just another chunk of roman bronze/brass that sounds so good. I dug down about 10-12 inches and out popped this beauty looking at me. Two gold in a week! What a trip. 1817 Gold Sovereign (Bullhead). My first ever gold coin. Apparently the Latin on it reads: "Evil be to he who evil thinks".

Come back to the land of the pop tops and zincolns LOL! What a great experience you have had, do you get to bring the gold coin home with you or did it have to be turned in for examination first?

Who needs hammered silver when you’re finding ancient gold artefacts and gold coins?!?!

Congrats man, what a good trip you had!
