Title: Mixed bag from Glos! Post by: staterchaser on November 13, 2011, 09:07:17 PM After yesterdays Palstave find I was keen to get out in the sun today and dig some more holes. Went to Gloustershire to CHADS rally. Started well, infact all my finds came within the first hour then nothing, weird, talk about peeking too soon! :o
First came the Charles the 1st hammered love token, my first one as all the pevious ones I've had have been Williams. Next came the part roman brooch and sixpence. The other pictured find I was told was a Tudor Garter Hanger??? strange looking thing, if someone has had similar or shine more light on it would be appreciated. Finally probably my oldest find to date, eyes only :o a pretty nifty looking fossil probably amonite family. :) Title: Re: Mixed bag from Glos!

I saw an advert today in the paper, The Royal Mint are selling pre 1947 sixpences at £23.00 including postage. Yipee, A bundle coming my way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Mixed bag from Glos! Post by: wayno on November 13, 2011, 10:23:47 PM Well done ceri good eyes too mate
