September 2018 UK Tour

[Ken C]

I just got back from my second 2018 UK tour. I found three hammered coins again this time, including a King John I (1199-1216) and a Queen Elizabeth I Penny (1570s / double struck). One of my best relics was a quarter of an ounce round trade weight of James 1st circa 1603-25. The weight is of the 'stacking cup' type. The upper has the following stamped marks, the sword of St Paul, an ewer (the London Founders mark), and a crowned 'I' to denote James 1st. Below is a collage I created highlighting the trip.

I like the short-cross series, as I don't get too many of them. King John had some amazing looking coins.
The Pan/Trade Weight is cool, nice to get the full verification marks.

I see where your going with this, and yes I will pay you to take me detecting

 

[Tpmetal]

all kidding aside I've been looking at detecting holidays for awhile now. Just gotta save up a butt load of cash, or make something to sell. Anyone need something made by a starving artist ?

Nope, your too much hassle....lol

Serious, just curious, not heading anywhere with it.

he is one of the members that every time I see him post I get a little jealous and angry, then I calm down and drool over his finds. haha

check out metaldetcting holidays website. I think it would probably cost me about 3000 for the trip when all is said and done. i think they say starting at 1500 or something like that. they arrange export license for finds and all sorts of stuff.
