Title: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: icedout84 on March 13, 2014, 12:22:44 PM Well what lovely weather we had yesterday, a great to day to have off work and go detecting.
Found my 1st musket ball which I am well chuffed about, a very worn button, and a possible George 111 coin (any other id's on the coin would be great) as was suggested by a chairman of a local club who was passing on his way home from work, I can see the letter 'R' and maybe a 'L' but not sure. Thanks Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: 150aceboy on March 13, 2014, 12:29:06 PM Well done on your finds m8, love finding the musket balls, but i've only found 1 this year lol ;)
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: icedout84 on March 13, 2014, 12:39:26 PM Thanks mate last time I went detecting on this field a guy in the next field came over and showed me some musket ball he had found, so I thought surely theres got to be some in this field and bingo,
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: Val Beechey on March 13, 2014, 01:03:20 PM Not doing very well here. Just lost my 1st message, try again. I think your copper is a Victoria. Have tried to copy and enhance, hope it works.
Val Didn't do very well with that either. Oh well. If you look at the bottom pici and turn it round you can clearly see Vicci young head. Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: icedout84 on March 13, 2014, 01:10:05 PM Hi Val, It could be a Victoria couldn't it, any idea of date.
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: Val Beechey on March 13, 2014, 04:31:21 PM Not enough detail to say for sure but if you turn your 3rd pici round till the musket ball is at the top you can see her face, nose and a small bun at back of head.
It could be any of these, have a look. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/pen3.html (http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/pics/pen3.html) Val Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: Chef Geoff on March 13, 2014, 04:49:55 PM Val's right in the orientation, well done Val ;), but I think it's George II.....

As to the other one, the chances are that is a farthing. Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: icedout84 on March 13, 2014, 05:10:16 PM Thanks Val, Geoff and probono I can now see an outline of a head. So George 11 what date are we looking at.
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: Chef Geoff on March 13, 2014, 05:14:49 PM Difficult to tell which issue so between 1729 and 1754 ;)
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: icedout84 on March 13, 2014, 05:18:31 PM I'll take that :) thanks every one
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: diggaduff on March 13, 2014, 05:57:13 PM Congrats on your finds :)
Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: Val Beechey on March 13, 2014, 07:10:43 PM That's even better Icedout. Well done. Always nice to find a coin that you can date. Gives some age to the field and it's occupants.
Thanks for the correction Geoff (but of course if I hadn't spotted it you wouldn't have known, would you) ::) ::) ;D ;D Val Title: Re: Yesterdays Finds. Post by: Chef Geoff on March 13, 2014, 07:25:01 PM No Val I'd still looking at it upside down if it wasn't for you ;)
