A few of my favorite coins

[avalon]

Here are a few of my favorite coins i've managed to winkle out of the soils of Gloucestershire over the years. These were all found using a DFX and T2 on a few very productive sites.

Be nice if I could say all found in one day, but probably over 30 years.

Was going to say I knew you'd been detecting for a long time. Hubby says time for me yet !!!! Can't see me tottering aroung a field when I'm 97 

Lovelly collection of coins. Nice to have something to show for all those years. (and a nice little nest egg when you hang you boots up)

Yes, it's OK finding all these coins but you can't use them in supermarket trolleys, slot machines etc.
£1 coins are the ones you should be looking for. They will even take them at the bank, as long as you hide them in coin bags with other £1 coins.

Only joking Steve. Gobsmacked is the word 

That aureus is absolutely sensational

moving to gloucester lol fantastic stuff

There is an awful lot more, but I don’t want to bore you. I‘ve detected on over 120 farms in the county which would be close to 60,000 acres. So I kind of know where to go, to find a particular period of history. The only thing that eludes me are posey rings, just can’t find them.

Would you believe I can’t sell the Aureus because the cornucopia is slightly wrong on the reverse and until another one turns up from the same die, no-one will buy it. Probably  because it’s worth about 40k and too many fakes have now come in from Eastern Europe, so I sit and wait patiently until another one appears. If you find a coin, make sure it's not too rare.

If you cut a piece off the edge it should fit nicely in a supermarket trolley, no problem.

Seriously though, how frustrating is that. You are sitting on a serious amount of money which you can't bank 
Hopefully an identical die turns up for you, the sooner the better.

The other problem I have with rare coins is they either get sold or live in a bank vault, as I cannot afford the insurance premium. So not much point in having a collection you can’t see or handle.
