My first Gold coin!!

[shaun7]

Well half of one anyway

Probably my best day ever! Got a hammered after 45 minutes Followed by the gold coin soon after!

It's a half guinea, unfortunately it doesn't have the date on, but i know it is 1768 because Crusader has the other half which he found 4 years ago

Finished the day off with another hammered, a cut quarter

4 roman coins some buckles and loads of buttons!

Great find Shaun. You were due a gold coin. If I had found the other half I would give it to you so it would be whole again.

 

[Silver Searcher]

Just to say shaun...I have never seen a Gold coin broke in two like that before I have seen them mangled and bent, and fragments were they have been through the harrow, but never cracked in two

Funny story about that half.

Dads oldest Gold Coin used to be 1777, & when I found this 4 years ago, I rubbed it in that I had an older coin (because luckly I had the date piece). We wondered if we would ever get the other half but thought our chances slim, as many have detected this field for many years & they may have already found it or will get it before us.

I had even forgot it was this field until Shaun7 shouted he had half of a Gold Coin, I said immediately 'I have the other half!' Knowing that the odds of two broken in this field were small.

Never thought we would be Coin Bro's

That's kinda cool,

Infact that's very cool.... What are the chances you could get them together again. Some gold coins make banner, some don't this one however should. Its rare to find a gold coin, its even rarer to find 2 half's 4 years apart from two different people from a hunted out field. Awesome job guys BANNER !!

BANNER!!

Keep @ It and HH!!

[wyattrr]

Man what are the odds of that?? Congrats definately in order.

 

[texan connection]

Very nice finds, and yall both finding half the towo halves of the same coin! Pricless, could be a treasure clue. I bet there was some HI fiving gong on when you put them together.

 

[thrillathahunt]

Mind-boggling! How do you suppose it was cut with such precision? Was it just bent until it broke?

Looks like you both now have half sovereigns

 

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

How cool is that !!!! Two halves of the same gold coin, four years apart !

Very interesting post
