Re: first time out with new detector on farm field posibale gold find *update

The token with the hole in looks interesting, can you read whats on both sides?

Clearly you should carefully (with Discrim. Low) search the area where the Gold came from.

looking at the back i can make out england on the front it dose look like god thier is more on the back trying to make it out

If you could invest in a better camera, then with future shots of both sides I could help (good investment for all your future finds as well). Is it God or Good? and under God is ? Also when you say England do you mean the words or a picture?

I believe that I may be able to identify the holed token with a bird on it.

Obverse: Dove with olive branch flying to left. "2 P" in the Field. Ex. "Good Tidings."

Reverse: "I promise to. pay . the Bearer . Two Pence: Wm Ringland Belfast 1734."

PBK, nice job on the ID!

ukeden, see if your camera has a macro setting (look for a flower icon). Macro will let you focus from much closer distances. Also, if you don't have a tripod, try setting the camera on a stable surface with your finds supported in front and use the camera's self timer to take your pics. Even decaf drinkers get a bit of blur from camera shake...

Good advice, & good ID PBK.
