Wonderful Finds!
 

I think I see a banner.
 

Awesome finds!!!
 

I live 100 yards from the coast in Yorkshire England, There are a few popular resort beaches , but The whole coastline has a tragic history of Shipwrecks. So pre 1800 finds are quite common if you put in the time and don't mind walking miles to get to access points. The Gold came out on a day where the windchill was freezing the salt water

What detector are you using?
 

Gorgeous finds!

Spare any gold ;) ?
 

I prefer to only use PI's on the coast I have several but prefer my Whites Surf PI Pro, Heres a interesting American Half Dime, It was dug a few feet from the spot a friend dug a Gold English half Sovereign that was also holed

Heres a pic taken on the cliffs a 100 yards from my house, if you look out to the headland This is the spot where John Paul Jones fought the Battle of Flamborough Head, After the battle, the Bonhomme Richard was so damaged that she wound up sinking the next morning, I have dug 100s of Musket shot and several canon balls but could be from this or one of the many wrecks on this stretch of coast
