Title: Not a cartwheel Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on April 12, 2009, 05:43:01 PM Ok i found a coin yesterday ,between the the size of a cartwheel penny and two penny , i'm trying to clean it slowly so no pics at the moment. It has writing on the edge of the coin , so far i can make out the words 'in LONDON' on the edge any ideas???
Title: Re: Not a cartwheel Post by: JohnF on April 12, 2009, 06:16:24 PM Sounds like a Parys mountain mines penny somtimes called a "Druids head penny",
I found one a couple of years back and if my memory serves me right it read "On demand in London Liverpool or Anglesey", around the edge. John. Title: Re: Not a cartwheel Post by: waltonbasinman on April 12, 2009, 06:19:06 PM Sounds right John. I have seen a few in varying condition and have a picture some where. will try and find it and post it.

Amazing how these items get lost in seemingly isolated places. Im remember last year of some one finding a Lundy penny (I think it was on the Cardiff scan club forum) Keep up the good work Rob ! All the best Phil Jones Title: Re: Not a cartwheel Post by: Neil on April 16, 2009, 03:08:52 PM That was me who found the Lundy Island Panny - a One Puffin!
It was really odd as I had literally read about them the morning I went detecting. First signal of the day a Lundy Penny! There are strange forces at work I can tell you! Neil Title: Re: Not a cartwheel Post by: ROMAN STEVE on June 15, 2009, 06:25:30 PM That is a very nice find
