Hi Peter, can you confirm this for me. It's a bit battered  but the print around the outside helps.

I think it's Elizabeth1st sixpence abt.1573

very well done val,  you deserve one,  well done again go get some more

Thank you David, it only took 5 1/2 years.   ::)

Fantastic, well done Val. Yes it's a Lizzie. What a great result, bet you were dancing a merry jig when you realised you,d got one at last! Am well chuffed for you.

Hoorah!

Pardon my French but that's bloody brilliant news! well done Val you've broken your duck fingers crossed they will now arrive like buses  ;)

Well, no I didn't do a jig  I  just stood there and kept saying over and over 'thankyou'   I still had a smile on my face when I got home.
John shouted through from the lounge, 'Do I need to send out the troops to carry in the gold' and I responded 'No but I could do with a guard for the Silver'.  I think he was as pleased for me as I was for myself.

Geoff I always said if there's one there and I walk over it....well I did today.   Hope you're right .

I,ve just raised a glass to celebrate your success. Well done Val,  now go back and search the area very thoroughly, on different frequencies.

What a result, best orgasm in years, allegedly, of course!!

Welcome to the club  ;) ;) ;)

Thank you Dungbeetle nice to be one of the gang at last.

Alan  :o  It was even more rewarding because I found it exactly where I said there was something on LIDAR.  I went today with the intention of griding (by eye) the area.  Difficult with my bad foot, I could see where I'd walked and it wasn't very strait. Looked like I'd been on the pop. Still it worked. Only just realised, it's another sixpence. I seem to have a thing for them, getting quite a collection now.   

Waaahey, well done Val, I told you your time would come, I'm so pleased for you. There'll be no stopping you now.

Thanks Dylan.  Must admit I thought I was going to be like that Scottish member, took him 30 years  :o

That's fantastic news - may it be the first of many :)

Thanks probono, I hope so as well.

Brilliant well done Val first of many i hope Good luck and happy hunting

well done val , just rewards for many hours of hard work , it doesnt matter if it took 5 years or 5 minutes you found it , i hope ( an im sure it will ) be the 1st of many  :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Well done Val. If that came from your new farm you posted about, I'll wager you will have a few more. Well done again.

Well done val bet you had some tummy butterfly's finding your first one I'm still waiting lucky you.

nice one Val ;D

Well done Val, they'll come thick and fast from now on!

More to come well done  :)

well done val brilliant more 2 come ;D

Wow well done Val definitely worth the wait there will be more to follow for sure.

Congrats Val, no stopping you now  :)

                      Very nicely done Val. I remember thinking "what's all this fuss about hammered silver"; a coins is a coin, after all is said and done. And then I found my first hammered Lizzie sixpence!  :o

                      What made it all the sweeter was that I winkled it out of the ground whilst using the EuroAce with the stock coil fitted and more upmarket machines had been swung over the same section of the field.

                      May the silver commence to flow for you. You deserve it.  ;)

Many thanks for all the congrats fellas. Hope you're all right and it's not a flash in the pan.  Only got a few days left on those fields now, they've already seeded again and I noticed one or two seeds were already germinating yesterday.  Not sure how the Owner feels about me tramping over his little babies, s'pose I'll have to ask.
On a brighter note, I will have access to some Maize fields shortly  ??? don't know if I'm impressed with that idea. Plus there are some smaller grass field further over (more walking).

Chris, I've always told myself the same. A coin is a coin, what's the fuss all about but I must admit, secretly, I really wanted to find one and I wanted a Lizzy but a shilling.  Praps next one eh  ::)

 ;D

Well done Val, very pleased for you and gotta say you really do deserve it.

Well done val you've only gone and done it....👍😱👌
So pleased you've gone and broken your hammie duck...👍

val , most of us will be on the maize fields soon, generally there will be areas where  there has been tractor trafic that is detectable with a normal coil or if not going down to a tiny coil you  would get between those pesky stalks

Big Congrats Val, I'm so pleased for you, may that be the first of many hammies, your on a roll now girl, the next one is waitng for you..... 

New farm, deep ploughed, Hammered what ever next Val  :o joking aside I am really pleased for you and I hope you can pull a few more out soon very well done. ;)

Well done Val! Hopefully the first of many  :)

Peter is it a Lizzy 6d abt 1573  Shame it's seen a bit of traffic but it's still a hammie, at last.

Paul, I took a pici of one of the fields on my phone but can't figure out how to down load it  ::)  It really is my field of dreams. Deep ploughed, disked, PLANTED, and tilled to a fine tilth.  First time I've managed to get on a field like that but not for long.

David, not much choice on coils unless I go back to the Safari with the sharp shooter. I had the 11" with the Deus.

Ken, is 1 coin on a roll ? mind you I did find that little brooch last week, praps your right.

Wondering, I agree, but don't say I said so. ;)

Mark, It could be said I'm not a Hammie virgin any more  :-[ ;D

What size is it Val?

Hi Peter.  Same size as all the other sixpences I've got.

Do you mean it's the same size as a milled pre-decimal sixpence? If so then it'll be a threepence a hammered sixpence is pretty big about the size of a 2p ;)

Oh, right.  Thanks Geoff . Didn't think to check size when I was looking for I.D.

Doesn't  matter, it's still a Lizzy and hammered.   ;)

you re the first woman ive met that said size doesnt matter ;D

Well done a great coin

Nobby, like most women I'd have liked a bigger one but you have to settle for what you get   ::)
                        ( No wonder I call you Naughty Nobby )  ;D

Thanks Hound dog  ;) shame the head was so badly worn but at least the scrip was mostly there

lol Val ;D........you ll have to excuse me, iv e had a couple of youtube hours of Frankie Howerd this morning ;D

Ooooh!!! Titter ye not at Francis !!!!!👍
