Awesome on the Medieval Silver, and nugget!!! Congrats!!!Pretty sweet couple of days! My brother found his first silver hammered! Meanwhile, I struck gold, but not a coin; a nugget! Also have a possible roman coin but it's so worn don't think I'll ever know for sure. I think there is a medieval book bind too.

Natural Gold is very rare & only turns up in Wales & Scotland, not aware of any sources in England.I'm not sure if it is just a natural nugget or something left over. But I'm told that gold isn't naturally found in England so I'm guessing the later. The museum has already disclaimed it.
Yeah, That's what I was told, that it doesn't occur naturally in this area. One theory is that counterfeits were setting up shop in this area but who knows?Natural Gold is very rare & only turns up in Wales & Scotland, not aware of any sources in England.
It's unusual, as we have had plenty of blobs of Silver in the past but no blobs of gold, even on a major metal working site!Yeah, That's what I was told, that it doesn't occur naturally in this area. One theory is that counterfeits were setting up shop in this area but who knows?
Now you know I'm not answering that question squarely - South of England.What area of England do you detect Crusader?
