I know we have had this thread before, but I thought I would refresh it.

For me a while ago it used to be a silver love token, a crotal bell and a silver thimble Relatively frequent finds for everyone else, but I only put the ghost of these items to bed last year and ticked them all off!

Now they are off the list, top of my finds list that everyone else seems to find once in a blue moon, but I never get a sniff of is a personal seal. It can be lead, bronze, silver or even gold. I am not fussy at all. I have seen a few of these turn up over the years when I have been detecting (even a few feet from me!), but they don't like me! I would be more than happy with a lead one, although the one pictured below would be perfect. ::)

Come on - what are you waiting to find? Last time we ran this Chef managed to get the monkey off his back with a crotal bell and Roman Ray found his first hammered coin. Think of it as a good luck omen.

Neil

Any gold coin at all will get that Monkey off my back. A Queen Anne coin, A flint tanged barbed arrow head.

But then I suppose they are hard enough finds anyway so an everyday Item would be a Ring - Any ring I can keep and call my own.  :)

I would love a bullhead please  but this is my  seal found while out with Geoff and Taff

Oddly enough, I had an 1813 Bullhead today and have a few in my collection.

I'd love my first gold coin! I have a couple of hundred hammered and milled silver coins from over the years, but just can't seem to score on a gold coin!  :'(

It's Gota be a gold hammered or a stater ! I recon I'd collaps in the feild !!!

I've been a bit spoiled in the last 18 months and have been able to cross a Bronze age spearhead, posy ring, stater and of course the infamous Crotal bell off my list and over the years I have covered most basis as far as coin eras are concerned, all that is except one and that is the Commonwealth. I have never even come close to finding a coin from that period and I'm hoping that by putting it down in writing, as Neil has said, may just help it rear it's head. ;D


Ohh what the hell, and I wouldn't mind a gold Saxon if theres any going ;D

Oh yes and an Edward III double leopard ::)

What do you mean by Commonwealth, Geoff.

I have had coins from Canada, India and  amongst others which are/were part of the Commonwealth.


I loved getting my silver half dollar recently from the turn of last century! (but not a Commonwealth coin)

Got my main missing "common" find last year when I had my first silver halfcrown.

Saxon and/or Celtic coin would be nice to get off my wishlist for this year.  ;D

For me on the very top of my list it would have to be a silver Roman coin, never found one of those. Then it would have to be something gold, no matter what it is! A Celtic coin and a Saxon coin, never had any of these! Any one of these this year would make me very happy indeed!

for me it would have to be any nice find.... ;D...a nce gold hammered...never found one...or a roman brooch for this year..any condition .in not proud..i just want one,,it must be over ten years since my last one...lol

The trouble with you Bob is I never know when your joking ;) "THE" Commonwealth as in 1649-1660.

LOL  ;D  All the above

You gotta watch that Chef !   ;)

i have been graced by many wonderfull objects and coins in my time tectin but several things elude me,saxon coin,gold hammy,holy grail,spear of longinus,and that big gold box with those 2 big birds on it  ;D,,,,but we all search for the pleasure and sometimes the unobtainable.........and some days can be exeptionaly  unforgetable....good luck all.

Still waiting for a gold coin to pop out!
My wishlist for this year was a silver roman coin and I've crossed that one off the list now so maybe this might spur the gold one on!

I think i would wish for a Gold Stater. Have seen two winkled out just yards from me on to separate rallies one was with our very own Ceri (staterchaser). Well done fella

i'm still waiting for my crotal bell..... :(....not even had a sniff of a part of one after eight years...... :'(....i live in hope..... ;).....byron

Got the crotal bell, the buckles and brooches, silver coins by the bushel, but still hoping for gold in any form. Ring, bracelet, coin, small nugget. I am not fussy, honest

Eric

for me its gotta be a hammered coin first and then a solid gold roman face mask  ::)

Current wish list includes:

Any Scottish hammered
Any Roman (even a grot as Roman are rare as hens teeth in Scotland, blame my ancestors for keeping them the other side of the wall!!)
Crotal bell
Papal bulla
Any milled silver from the 1700's, never seem to turn up
 ;D ;D

myself im not a greeder fella..i just want a HENRY VIII hammered.......must be in fab condition.lol. ;D

a rare gold stater,saxon or norman coin,henry vIII gold sovereign,henri III shortcross rhuddlan mint,a Eddy groat any gold/milled realy oh and a crotal bell :)

A silver Roman coin would be nice, but a complete crotal bell eludes me.

I'd really like to find a gold stater - please  ::)
