Well Done James mate - cracking coin! Well done to Dave as well.

Do you find it in pasture mate or in plough, and were you plundering the English again?

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh

Neil

 :D neil, we may have wandered slightly outside our border but i wasnt paying attention haha ;D it was found in pasture & it was a slope with lots of deep rock so the farmer only ploughs the one half! the half guinea was on the slope & the hammie was where its been previously ploughed as you can tell it has battle marks. yes it will be at the next meeting! & also could you bring your copy of treasure hunter so i could see the detecting wales bit! if its in there this month? cheers
