DAY 11 - LUCKY SILVER - Eighteenpence

[CRUSADER]

Still letting Dad detect & I dig until my arm gets better.

Dad started well with a first signal of a roman coin. Then 2 blank runs, so I said I will do 1 left handed run. I found a stunning bank token produced when they were short of silver. It is silver but represented eighteen pence. I have the old head verson of this token but not this one Plus 1 roman coin. Dad was sick

2005 book price in EF (pretty close but a couple of nicks) - £100 ($200).

He finished with some buttons & another roman coin.

Still 4 nights or more work to go until this field is finished.

I LOVE THIS HOBBIE 8)

Un-frickin'-believable! You dudes kick butt!

I wonder what I would find my 1st day in England...probably a hoard of Roman coins (100,000). Dang, I would have to report that haul, so I would spill the contents from the bowl into the field and pretend they were individual finds. LMAO Good idea, mate?

Thanks everyone.

If someone showed me that coin & told me they found it in a ploughed field. I would call them a liar.

In this condition without cleaning other than water, yes. Not rare to buy as a collector though.
