Before lunch we completed our grid pattern across the entire middle section of the field. My first 2 recordable finds were the fourrée denarius & a hammered, but the Roman Bronzes had trickled out.
So after lunch we both agreed to grid for 2 hours below the main spread of the Roman coins, just to check they had run out in that direction (like we thought). There were no further Roman Coins but Cru'dad gave one of those funny Gold Coin noises, which confused me for a second, as I thought, 'it can't be Celtic Gold so must be a Nice Roman Silver'! Nope....
(5 Hours)
Steam Engine Cog? (anyone know?)
Livery Button
Crotal Bell
Roman Steelyard Weight
Late Medieval Buckles
Jetton
3 Scrappies
Silver Plated Roman Coin
James I Halfgroat (Hammered)
1881 Sydney Australia Sovereign (22 Ct Gold mined in Australia)
It's been some years since we last had a modern Gold Coin, & it took 20 acres of systematic searching to pluck this random out of the field. Nearest house is 1 mile & we were not getting any other period finds...

He keeps up with you! Beautiful coin. Who's that killing the dragon? Looks like Siegfried the dragonslayer. But on an Australian coin?
