George 111 sixpence 1817

[mattdiver]

Took my 9 year old son out detecting. His first time as he always thought I was a "geek" doing this hobby. He's changed his tune as we both got stuck in digging targets. Small area of grassland next to mansion house. House built in 1813. Got a signal and it was this beauty of a coin I showed the owner of the land and she had fun gently washing the soil off and seeing the coin
It looks like new
My son is kinda converted now

Why do people from Europe always say George 111 when its roman numerals.. George III

Said it before, but these are harder to find than most hammered - congrats on a real good one that can go straight in the album.

Very nice looking coin. That's usually all it takes to make the kids a believer is to dig something "cool".
