That's three gold coins in as many years for me.
It's a hot day today but with a nice breeze that makes it tolerable despitenthe temps and so I headed onto some pasture on a farm just outside an old village here in Lancashire England.
Was only swinging the coil for 10-15 minutes and right out of the blue this little blighter popped up. Could just see the rim sticking out the turf and knew instantly i'd struck gold.
The rest of the session was terrible but I really didnt care to be honest.
Came up a solid 18 on the Nox 800 at onky a few inches deep.
Happy hunting folks, keep swinging those coils as You have to be in it to win it.

I'm not even contemplating that someone got beat up in the middle of that field and lost a gold coin in the process either 😆
Ha ha ha, not really how I was envisioning it... More like... I lose the coin, and I blame YOU for stealing the coin, and my family believes me and comes and beats the sht out of you Or worse ... ☠️ 🤣 ha ha ha
 

We had a drought of Milled gold until Cru'dad got a Queen Anne last year.
For us, its easier to find a Celtic Gold than a Sovereign - BIG CONGRATS (Nice condition as well!)

Nice one, young head of Vicky always puts it round the 1860s.

Shame the price of gold has gone so high you cannot expect anything over it.

I am in US and have a coin shop, took a set of Sovs to UK on last trip and the dealers did not want to know.
Had a nice vicky form Melbourne too.

Just sold them for 99% of spot as these Yankees dont care for them.

I made out like a bandit as the price of gold has gone up from $2,000-

Good hunting, Bob

It actually got better.
This was found on the first day of August on a Thursday afternoon.
Thst Sunday evening I went to a different location some 12 miles from where I found this and up came another sovereign though even better this, an 1821 George IV.
And then the following Saturday I went to another location, a permission ive hunted for a couple of years and only went and found a Victoria half sovereign.
3 Gold coins in 3 weeks from 3 locations. An incredible months detecting August. Though it got even better for me in September.
Exactly a week ago today my best ever find came up in the form of a 3000 year old spearhead which I'm still buzzing over now as it is a real bucket lister for me. A bronze alloy that beats gold any day of the week
Thanks for the interest and happy hunting.

Wonderful
 

I'm glad I'm late to this thread so I could see the additional three gold
coins and 3000 year old spear head that you added.
Would that be Roman in origin?

Absolutely fantastic finds.
 

AMAZING FINDS :) !!! Congrats CAN I HAVE ONE ? :)
 

Can you imagine the pain that person felt after losing that coin ? Maybe someone died or was Beaten for stealing it when they didn't, but it was actually lost.. Few people carried Gold Coins around and fewer people lost them...
Incredible find !!!
Great POINTS !!!

That spearhead had been sat in that field for some 2000 years when the Romans first stepped foot on these shores. As ancient to them as Jesus is to us.
Its ridiculously old but not actually my oldest metallic find though believe it or not.
A couple of years ago i was fortunate enough to find an early bronze age axehead that is 4000 years old . As old as the great pyramid at Giza....🤯
