KICK ASS COIN
 

The story goes....

Its a field that I have detected for over 5 years. The first year was excellent with a nice Silver Roman Denarius & many more nice objects. The next year hardly anything, same for the following and so on. It wasn't until this year when I had very little options open & decided to try again.
I started at the far end of the field away from the old road where previously I had found very little. The first day went well with 3 medieval hammered coins (I normally find 1 every 2 months). The next couple of days went the same, now I was getting excited but thought it would end. However then it happened towards the bottom of my run where I was about to turn around I heard a good signal. Thinking it was a medium piece of lead I did a small dig & immediately saw gold. The rest is history, my earliest gold coin.
At this point I was still only half way down the field. So I carried on & found my best & mint condition King John (1399) hammered penny (a very rare find) & right on the last run of the field a hammered sixpence of James I (1604).
I found 11 hammered coins in the one field, a new record, that didn't include previous years finds.
So just proves what the plough can bring up even after extensive searching.
 

I dream of British dirt... all the time.

Trouble is, I'm on the wrong side of the pond. *Sigh* Maybe one day...

Ah, well. In the meantime, I'll have to content myself with colonial coins (if I'm very, very lucky).

Enjoy it- you are living my dream. Congratulations!
 

Nice find...Just like here, never know what you will find when you go back...even if you think it is all gone!
 

Very nice find, congratulations.
There is something about gold that makes me drool.
