Today was my last day off as I return to work tomorrow (after an extended X-Mas Holiday :wink: ). Thankfully there was a break in the wet & very windy weather. I'm glad I didn't try yesterday, as the only road/lane to the field had a huge tree blown across it (cut & cleared now), must have been yesterday which would have blocked my way back with the bike. :o
I spent 4 hours on my own continuing the rather difficult land I started to grid recently. I was having a bad few hours & my mind was dreaming up a likely good find from this field, the best I was hoping for was a complete Medieval Buckle. You never expect a Gold Coin but it was furthest from my mind & I had no clues that this field was going to do anything this good :o It's taken Dad & I over 2 years to find another Gold Coin, but I'm so glad 2012 is made already, so the pressure is off for the rest of the year :laughing7:

Other finds of the day:
4 Scrappy Roman Coins
2 Lead Tokens
Tudor Clothes Fastener (Rose)
Leather Mount (circa 17th C) – Man in the moon & star to right
17th C Lead Cap (powder flask)

There are less than 50 Recorded examples of this type :headbang:
Celtic Gold Quarter Stater
CUNOBELINE
AD10-20AD
Wild Type Horse Right

Corn Ear
VA-1935.01
CA[MV]
Minted - Camulodunum (Colchester)

Let me tell you, I was so pleased with the coin, it got a Rex Hunt Kiss (but no throwing back) :laughing9: :blob8:

My first ever Celtic Gold Coin (some years ago) was this very same type, however it was a full Stater & this is a Quarter. So now I have the full set 8) - I pictured it next to my first coin to show how much smaller this one is :icon_thumright:

Thanks for all the great posts in 2011, they have made my mornings much more enjoyable and interesting, also increased my knowledge of things ancient.
As for gold, no-one is more likely to find a gold coin than you guys, I am expecting to see one in your posts anytime. Thanks again Nuggy

Thanks I knew someone else had predicted it (couldn't remember who). Because I remember reading it & thinking, not a chance on this land :laughing9: How wrong can I be...
 

Re: 2000 YEAR OLD GOLD COIN...

Thanks for the Banner & votes, plus all the above comments :notworthy:

The Team will need to be on its toes this year, if we want to improve on last year. Personally it will be near impossible, in terms of totals, as we have sucked off so much from the sites we know about. We will need some pretty major new ones, to even stand half a chance :-\ But its not going to stop us trying harder & lets hope this is the kick start for a killer year :whip2:
 

Re: 2000 YEAR OLD GOLD COIN...

Congrats on the banner Crusader but especially Congrats on the 1/4 Stater awesome find and also congrats on the griding of the field it must take you forever but patience pays of. :notworthy:
 

Re: 2000 YEAR OLD GOLD COIN...

Congrats! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

What a Beauty! Great BANNER Find!

I see that it weighs something over 1 gram and under 1.5 grams. Could you give more info on detector used? (Goldmax?) Depth, and signal number.

I was playing with my XP Deus trying to see sensitivity to gold. a 1.5 gram ring sounded off at 3 to 4" depth.
