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

Very nice!!!!!!!!. I have way too many questions to ask. What was the Soil Like in england? Were the folks nice whom let you detect on their land? What was the oldest recognisable coin? What was the deepest good target? Someday I will hunt across seas. Very inspiring thread.

He was in North Wales not England. Soil is brown & muddy.

Hey Dugfinds, there would be more Celtic presence there than Roman or not? I have heard of some Bronze Age finds there. Come to think of it, I don't here of many finds coming from there. I'll bet LW is holding out though, LOL! HH, Mike

LW, I'm glad you enjoyed your UK trip, Yorkshire or Lincolnshire would be a good area for you to try if you were to come again.TK

Hey Lonewolfe, I see at the bottom of the bottom picture is an old South African 3D, did you find that there also? Sounds like a great trip to me, as a kid, I used to love the big English Penny,,,,, I used to change my Shilling to 12 Pennies, it just looked a lot more

God bless
