Title: Re: first hammie tonight Post by: hedgehog on June 19, 2009, 03:48:19 PM Try the spit and foil test , if no smell not silver, looks like it may be a pewter replica, if the back is blank then that doesn't fit in with the condition of the rest of the coin, they just don't come out of the ground like that, Sorry Digga! :'(

Title: Re: first hammie tonight Post by: StumbledUpon on June 19, 2009, 05:50:19 PM Oh, :( you will get one again for sure, :)
Title: Re: first hammie tonight Post by: simon c on June 19, 2009, 06:53:02 PM Oh well Digga,never mind you'll get another,did'nt say anything before as i was'nt sure but the condition is a bit to good,as the others say my first thought was that it could be a replica,still sounds like the site has potential and i hope the other lads did'nt plant it there ::)
Title: Re: first hammie tonight Post by: The Doc on June 19, 2009, 08:37:22 PM I bet you're gutted with that - as you say someone maybe trying to wind you up, but if it was six inches down in undisturbed pasture, it must have been there some time. I have to agree that it is a repro though :'(
Keep at it and I'm sure your hammered day will come 8) Title: Re: first hammie tonight Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on June 19, 2009, 09:19:06 PM Diggs , I'M BLOODY GUTTED FOR YOU FELLA. I'm telling you though , there's got to be hammered there. You'll get one soon, then we'll see who gets the last laugh ;)
