Went out today 17th Jan it was extremely cold but otherwise very bracing ,Decided to try the field that produced the Woad Grinder and the new type Roman Brooch from last week , but the 1st time a signal was received l realized the frost had made the ground so hard that it was impossible to dig !! So l almost called it a day. But as l had made the effort to travel several miles to the farm l decided on another approach , the adjoining field was still stubble from around six months ago and had quite a bit of weed growth and l thought it would be much easier , which proved to be the case, so l had about 3 hours or so on that. And am l glad l did..
This years 1st GOLD coin a beauty. and 4 days sooner into the year than last year. Hutch.:hello2:

Beautiful gold coin! I lived in the Uk for three years and regret not metal detecting at the time.
 

Wow! Insane... I want one. Congrats on a sweet find!
 

Yup! Banner. Congratulations.
 

Here is a typical price for South Ferriby type.. typical price
Don't make the mistake of under valueing your coin mate, that price is about right for the usual South Ferriby type, but because yours is well centered, and not struck on a worn die, clear both sides.. with what looks to be a high Gold content, I would expect to get nearer £600, or $950.

Congratulations on the banner! You certainly are in a great area for old artifacts! Here in Texas, you only find stone artifacts in that age range! We get excited about finds from the 1800's.
 

Oh, WOW what a find! Congratulations on a FANTASTIC gold coin, and for making a well deserved banner! :thumbsup: Breezie
