Put in a few hours PM today.

Not quite sure what some of the bits are, but I do know the Gold coin is Queen Victoria half sovereign 1892, the silver coin is possible 1500 -1600, it is very worn on the head side. Big coin is a penny of George the third 1760-1820.

Thanks for looking

No this the third gold coin, the other two were “full” Queen Victoria Sovereigns.

This makes a ratio of one gold coin every 13.4years!!!!!!!!

Dad & I's ratio is about 1 in five (so 1 in 10), however we have had 3 in 3 years. It proves the point that UK detecting is not as easy as you make it look :)
