We were invited to hunt off-season at an English theme park- several acres. It was unseasonably warm today, 65 degrees in Dayton Ohio.
What a great day for all. I found several unexpected items today. The others will post there own finds: (All my finds are with a Whites M-6).
Sacajawea Dollar - Third since Nov 07
Queen Elizabeth II copper charm?
Child's silver wire ring
Egyptian Cat Pin
5-pointed flower decorations (4)
1403 -Celtic coin (dime sized) Probably a fake
First Old Coins -- First Foreign Coins:
1912 King George of Britton - LargePenny
1907 King George of Brittan - Large penny
King George coins found 3" down with VDI +74 --showed Penny. While waiting for Jeff to dig up his find I casually swept area while talking and got another +74 VDI hit.
Yes...a second King George Large Penny. Impossible: what are British coins of this age doing in Ohio?
King George is facing in two different directions on the two coins--must be a fake. I Goggled it and YES faces are opposite directions in those years--the coins are REAL.....!!!!!
Celtic Coin?
I decided to check along a white rail for more old coins (see pictures). Under the rail I got another hit as a penny but +70 VDI reading--not a normal penny reading. I dug to 3 inches. YES... another foreign coin. Celtic looking dated 1403. The detail is very sharp and I wonder if it is not a replica sold at the theme park by some old English memorabilia vendor. Maybe some of you know...
Found the Celtic coin online at Ebay. It is a Lord of Rings Shire Hobbit Penny from 1403--$4.99 plus
$6.00 shipping and handling. See picture below--still great to find.
Silver Rings
It is a big horse profile silver ring that is stamped 825. I found it only partially buried in gravel of covered waiting area. It showed as a dime with VDI of +78 at -0- depth
