Yes, it look like collectors example, been found thank to new coil for Xterra by Coiltek (to be honest isn't as good as I expected, ukrainian NEL is much better)
Extremally deep, under plowed layer of soil, probablly was lost brand new.

My first thought was this has to be a joke,it looks like a fake


Title: Re: Sixpence
Post by: Mick on September 12, 2011, 10:39:36 PM
Aye relichunting, my first feeling was the same, but huge hole in the soil was real   ;D

Did you have any mates with you,that may have planted it for a joke.

If it is the real deal then its a beauty

I bought a fake roman gold aureus and planted it for a mate to find,worked a treat  ;D

It is, without a doubt, a fantastic find in that condition. Congrats and well done.

The down side is,  everything else you ever find will be 2nd best. :'(

UNLESS,  it's GOLD. ;D ::)
