Title: George III shilling Post by: hedgehog on May 27, 2009, 06:21:29 PM Run out of ground to detect on, went around the edge of 1 field (being cut for haylage), down the one side was rubbish (modern), then got the George, next side was shotgun cartridges, next side more cartridges and last one a lead pot mend, so when the field has been cleared hopefully I know which areas to avoid. ;D
Pity about the nicks in the edge but do like the patination on the coin. Title: Re: George III shilling Post by: sodbuster on May 27, 2009, 06:25:44 PM Nice find hedgehog , looks to be in really good condition , most of the Georges I have found are pretty worn.

Title: Re: George III shilling Post by: simon c on May 27, 2009, 06:33:06 PM Very nice that Steve,must have been nearly new when it was lost,i don't get many George 3rd milled silver's so any condition is good for me.
Title: Re: George III shilling Post by: hedgehog on May 27, 2009, 06:44:39 PM I don't get many either , but isn't it strange when you find one (found an 1817 shilling a couple of weeks ago and it's been a few years since the last one) another one comes along a little later.
Yes i thought it must have been lost early on , just hope that they could have afforded to lose it at the time Title: Re: George III shilling Post by: mole on May 27, 2009, 07:49:48 PM Nice shilling there Steve ::) have,nt found one yet got a sixpence though and an halfcrown problem is the halfcrown could be a fake ??? good hunting mole

Title: Re: George III shilling Post by: Debbie on May 29, 2009, 09:28:29 AM Great condition hedgehog - I am quite partial to finding some nice silver myself. When I am out on land, I aim for hammies or roman, but if I can come home with Victorian or Georgian silver, then I am happy. I am GUTTED if I only find grots :'( :'( :'(
