CELTIC GOLD STATER 10-45BC

Silver Searcher · Mar 8, 2009

Hello everybody......

this weekend turned out to be a very special one, I finally after 9 years of detecting found my first Gold Coin

it also turned out to be my oldest

a Celtic Gold Stater dating between 10-45BC

to say that I am on cloud nine would be an understatement i just can not believe that I have finally
joined the Gold Coin Club :icon_sunny:

the coin is a South Firriby type stater (thanks to Robfinds for the ID and Crusader for the date) the weekend
turned out to be very productive with some great Silver and Bronze finds and possibly another Gold find

I will post these finds later on, any way
hearer's the pictures of the coin as it come out the ground I will post pictures later of the coin cleaned because it looks like it has some residue from
the field which has heavy concentrates of Iron :thumbsup:

thanks for all the replys on the Celtic Stater :notworthy:

just to let you all know, the field that produced the coin is not from being cropped, about a couple of weeks, the Roman Villa field joins this field and should be cropped this week :laughing9:

Hopefull I will have some more amazing finds to show you :headbang:

Best Wishes and happy hunting :thumbsup:
