🥇 BANNER Success!

[cudamark]

Well, I finally did it. After over 53 years of metal detecting, I managed to detect and recover a gold coin! Not just any old gold coin, but, a real old gold coin. It's a Celtic quarter stater, initially identified as a Dubnovellaunus from 25 BC to 5 BC. I had to go to England to do it, but, that was half the fun! I also found all sorts of other items too, and I'll post some more photos when I get the time. Right now, I'm still on cloud 9.

sweet find!

How does the treasure act affect your find? did you have to leave it there in a museum?

It stays there for now, until it's evaluated to decide if it's treasure or not......probably not. They have better examples of most gold coins, and this apparently is not part of a hoard, so, I'll probably get it in the end. That's pretty much up to them though. I'll either get the coin, or, the value of it.

Here's another coin I found on the same trip. Roman silver baby! Kinda crusty and I don't know the exact I.D. yet, but, still a welcome find. More to come........

Here's the milled silver coins I found. They range from the late 1600's "slick Willie" love token at the bottom, to a 1927 shilling in the upper left. Smallest coin is a 3 pence.

Getting a couple of Queen Anns in a hunt is great, well done.

Great find :0 Did they keep it ? I am sure you had to turn it into there historical agency

The design is similar to both the full and quater stater. Weight and diameter would help ID the coin. Figure just about 1.3g and 11 mm for a 1/4 stater and about 5.55gm and 17-19 mm in diameter for a full stater.
