Sorry, but you guys are a little out of our league, with hordes here and hordes there, we are SPEECHLESS!!!

Yea there everywere, you will be lucky to find a hoard if you lived here, I have been lucky to find two, but out of every 1000 UK hunters, you would be lucky to get one of them, that had found a hoard.

Congratulations, you got some good on you.
Keep @ it and HH !!

So cool. I sure wouldn't be in any rush to part with it. I have no idea what it's worth but it's in beautiful condition.

Not really, unless you are classing hoards as 100's of coins, in the UK it only has to be two coins or more, of a precious metal, bronze silver or gold...to be classed as a hoard.

Nice Goldie mate, and welcome to TreasureNet...if this had been an American find there would have been three page of replies Some times I wonder why we bother posting at all.

I realize that it's not a bed of roses to detect anywhere but many times myself and others here in the states read posts from UK hunters stating that what they found was trash or not really a big deal at all because it was only 200-300 years old but meanwhile, back at the ranch... Most of us here are lucky to hit the 17th - 18th century and when we do it's few and far between. I have seen some threads go various pages as you've mentioned and the find was pretty common yet others get little or no attention which is one reason I thought you were being serious. Heck, I posted two threads this past summer of items I've never seen posted and they were basically ignored even though one was voted on for banner... I was however flattered to get yet a different find published in the December issue of a UK magazine that meant pretty much nothing to anyone here.

Congrats on the #12 banner find and many more to come

I hear ya...the only time I refere to trash is when I detect on what I call night soil fields, these are the fields were the Victorians and Edwardians tipped there trash, they are quite frustrating....mostly burnt rubbish.

But I certainly don't knock finds dating 200-300 yeras..I welcome them, they can save the day and have done.

I live in the area of England in the middle the the Romans main camps were de to good grazing good crop yield and good minerals (as that what they came over for) so roman finds around me are not that un heard of to be fair. Plus I detect all over the country down in Devon which is rife with roman historical artifacts, sorry for the slow reply I have been away all weekend

 

[TreasureHunt3r]

The historical finds around my area are amazing everything from arrow heads dating back hundreds possible thousands of years. Medieval pottery, bracelets, broaches. It wasn't long ago in Yorkshire not to far from me a guy out on his FIRST detect found a solid gold cross encrusted with gems with fragment of bone in the centre of the cross which when carbon dated back originated from when monks were around. Then not just last year a farmer ploughing through his field unearthed 428 gold coins along with jewels and other things. My most common finds are Victorian pennies but good finds are literally just a field away around where I live

so get out there & gain that permission

Great find. Here in my area even colonial is rare but we can get some Civil war finds..... one reason I like ancient artifacts is it satisfies my 10,000 year old needs and makes me happy with my other finds. I hope that you and your dad are the next ones to find that big hoard of gold! Nice gold coin . Always enjoy the finds from ya'lls ancient ground we just need a good explanation sometimes.

Congrats to your dad! Yes we do envy the other side of the pond. For myself, just finding a coin or button from the mid 1800's in my area your doing damn good! Welcome to T-Net!

Thanks Hun I will be getting my own incubator as of late this year for my 18th birthday so hopefully I will find some good finds of my own I have been out before though and found in one field no more than 100m by 60m 5 Victorian pennies, 50p and a 20p. A bottle top, a horse shoe, a brewery badge and a old miners put tag I must admit I do love where we live. There's a Bronze Age burial chamber not 5 miles away, then there is all Victorian and Historical buildings and further a field we have an old village that had the Black Death were people use to throw valuables in to the river (now a shallow stream) so you find rings and bracelets in there. Dried up pond are also good places to hunt as tribes and people of power use to throw swords an very valuable items in there as offerings to the gods. I also have a gold pan full of welsh gold too from my trip to Wales.
