My last post was a King Edward IV Silver Groat date range 1460's - 70's. I went out again this morning to a field neighbouring the one in which that coin came out of. What a disappointment it turned out to be! Only found 3 coins, a Penny of Queen Victoria - 1863, a halfpenny (also Victoria) - 1861, and an undatable half penny - probably George III circa 1806 (I can just make out tell-tale features). I've attached a photo of this mediocre trio of coins together with a US Quarter as a scale reference coin. Also found was a host of artefacts including a couple of hallmarked silver spoon handles, several horse harness buckles, a bullet and two musket balls. Artefacts just don't do it for me, I'm basically only interested in coins...coins are why I go out detecting! So, today was well and truly a disappointment...
Better luck next time??? I hope so.

Couldn't find my Thermos

This could have been my warning

That I was going to be findless
but I'll made up my mind

There's more hammered there
but came home with my pouch bear



I've got the.......Vicky copper blues
n Thats what I love about you and Shaun's humor ! I can;t tell if you are making fun of me or Hodge !! I love it !! MaineRelic

Yeah but that silver was good enough to hold you over for a couple bad hunts. :thumbsup:


The 06 is the right type for the Georgie, but a One Penny.
