U.K. TRIP FINDS - LOTS OF OLD COINS

[lonewolfe]

Ok folks,

I've been holding out on you but as promised a month or so back when I returned to this site after a short (almost a year break away) I have more finds to post

I took a trip to the U.K. (flew across the Atlantic) over the summer for 2 weeks and hunted farm fields, beaches, private properties, etc. and found many coins, and other items (you gotta do it sometime - it was a blast/trip of a lifetime) and also - the OLD finds there are plentiful compared to the U.S.

These are the coins I found at my stay in North Wales (the U.K.) while I was there -- there are silver shillings, silver pence's, silver crowns, copper 1/2 pennies, large pennies, etc. and stuff from the 1700s thru the early 1900s and some that are too beat up to recognize. I also have other items I will post in another thread (relics, buttons, buckles, rings, etc. that I found too)

Enjoy and HH

That's awesome LW! I know that was a blast, I went to Colchester in Nov 04 for a detecting pure week. Did you find any hammered coins? Celtic or Roman relics/coins? I know you have more, show it up buddy!!! My avatar is a silver hammered Elizabeth 1572 I found there, also found two Roman coins in poor condition, but they are Roman and several other finds. HH, Mike

As you probably know Colchester was a large Roman Fort & City/large Town. So lots of Roman coins in the area. Wales has less Roman & Medieval activity & the finds you mention would be very rare.

Well done with your selection, I notice a nice conditioned gaming token in the form of a 'Spade' Guinea.

Ultimate vacation! Where you able to bring your detector (airplane) or did you have one waiting for you? Just curious if packing one would set off any flags. Great post.

Sweet digs !!! How expensive is going over there, and who did you go through? If you don't mind me asking.

I figured you were up to something when you didn't post for so long. Now I see what you were up to and I don't blame you one bit! Very nice indeed. Did you know someone over there or just wing it? Which detector(s) did you take with you?England hasn't converted to the Euro yet have they? I visited Malta once, a former Brit colony and remember asking the price of something and they would say somethng like, "Six and four". I hadn't a clue what that meant so I would just hold out a handful of money and let them take what they wanted! Look forward to seeing more. Monty
