Galway Farthing Token

[secondstar]

I was detecting a small field with the XP Deus that I had hit pretty hard with the Equinox earlier this year. I was working slowly because there’s lots of trash, and finally got a coin sounding 91 on the Deus.

I believe that this is a Galway Farthing Token from the 19th century.





It’s actually in really good shape, all things considered, so of course someone had to hole it back in the day!

That's a very cool find! Here's the listing for it from The Token Book 2 (Withers):

Great find!
Love the Deus in trash.

I run Deus fast at 25 kHz with ID Norm turned off. This causes most coin TIDs to be pushed well into the 90’s. I also use audio response set at 3 which makes coins easily distinguishable from modern trash. I can still hear a coin at 10 inches, even with a lower audio response.

As crazy as I am; I wouldn't dare have gone out yesterday... I found this token a couple of feet from the road in that field that we've all hit a dozen times!
