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!

Crusader has the other half What a coincidence that you found the other half. Now, how are you going to split it

 

[trikikiwi]

What an incredible find Surely this is a first for TNet ? I'm voting BANNER!

Do you have any idea of how far apart the two halves would have been?

Sadly no, because the first piece was found before we had a GPS (it would have been done & then I would know within 11ft). I remember it was in the same vicinity, probably a 20 metres or so

Thanks for all the replies everyone

I'm at Crusaders house at the mo so havn't had a chance to answer much( he's been hogging the computer)

 

[LabradorBob (Missouri)]

Congrats on all your finds.
i bet it really sparks the desire to hunt much more.
keep up the good work.

 

[IronSpike]

Congrats shaun7 on a first gold coin IMO Banner Coin

[Aquila]

Congrats, Banner coin!

 

[goldnow]

Well, let me say how relieving it is to be congratulating you for a gold find, than that incessant Hoover you detect with.

1/2 Banner vote from me...

Amazing! Shows you how persistence pays off.

[shaun7]

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

I know it's mad, there's not even a ding in it
