My Oldest Coin EVER! - UPDATED

[CRUSADER]

I did some research some time ago & asked my newbie friend to look into it. He came back with permission & today told me the Wheat had been harvested. He could not make it, but Dad & I went out for 2 hours.

We had never done this field, so we tracked down the lead After finding it, we just did the tracks as the stubble was terrible. Dad had 3 roman coins before I had another find of a lifetime!

Celtic Gold Stater:
South Ferriby Type 45-10BC - My oldest coin (Dad has one Roman Silver from 48BC), so not the teams oldest

Horse with six sided star.
Obverse die of Apollo which has been used until completely obliterated, & the books quote 'some show almost plain obverse' - which this is!

3rd Gold Coin of the Year - Words are now difficult to explain the year I'm having

Also a Todur Book Clasp
1723 Irish Halfpenny - looks good when wet, can read it all - not had this date
4 Roman Coins
Bronze Slag
Very Large Victorian Fire surround - I think Big enough to think the site has not been hit to hard, if at all!

Saxon Gold like hammer was lucky enough to get - but near on impossible, or Roman Gold which is nearly as Rare

It would be easier to say when your not, ........ never

Never is good.

Drunk is a good time to daydream. I do it all the time.

By the way, I have always wondered and I'm sure it has been asked before, what is your avatar?
I have searched the web and can find similar but not that exact pic. Is it viking?

Cru, I can't believe this. I am just a newbie, but 2 things you don't run out of are batteries and booze, well there are also 1 or 2 other things as well but we won't mention them now

I guess the banner is down for repair. I have seen some very good banner posts lately that didn't make it. I hope it's back up and running soon.

Cru! What? lol Another banner find friend. I like the American nickle you use for refference.

just for you guys

Yeah, that's a nice touch. I know I appreciate the U.S. nickel as a reference.

Oh, I am awe struck over TWO gold coins in a week. Dang, you are a very fortunate man. The best parts is that you show us what you find. It's like reading a history book, only better. Thanks again for sharing the story and great pics.

Well, once you're on top of the world where else will you go?


Unbelievable.


Send the next gold my way, if it's one of those "new" 18th or 19th c. ones.

I will never sell, but the funny thing is, this coin is worth a similar amount as the last Georgian one

Doesn't make sence does it

but as you know there has a lot of the South Ferribfoily type found in recent years :P

The Beverly hoard for one(i think 70 coins or more) and then there was lat years Rally(same organizers as Market Rasen)

over twenty South Ferriby Type

it's the South Ferriby type with the Treyfoil reverce that's the one to find Cru
