1902 florin 1929 shilling and 1922 florin...was there any difference beetween a florin and a 2 bob piece ???

Yes they're spelt differently ;D no both the same, lovely finds there Steve and it looks as if you've got some undetected land there ;)

what makes you say undetected ?...it's just a small field with some thin woods on three sides with a horse in it and a shed but the owner says they used to hold small events there showing cattle  sheep etc looks right he could be right as a lot of coins coming out of it mostly coppers but 5 silver now all from 1900 to 1942 it keeps me busy and good for learning me signal tones  :)

front

well found , plenty more there im sure  ;)

Because your finds are large large targets are always the first to go ;)

ooops... yes see your point and nothing was very deep so obvious really ...ha ha well done sherlock ...what supprised me though was ive gone over the field half dozen times now and yet always find somthing so just shows how much you can miss no matter how through you think youve been  :oo

Beautiful, just love the Edward V11  first one I've seen and in very good condition.  Shame about the dinks on the side though.  On Coins of the UK site I read this

The florin of Edward VII has a striking design showing Britannia standing on the bow of a ship. Most of this series are difficult in Uncirculated condition, and the date is so proud that worn coins often have it completely eroded.

Might be worth a bob or two. 

im afraid the dints may well me due to to what we mentioned the other day...my lousy pinpointing ha ha...in the garden i thought id got it sorted but out in the field im still struggling  :(

No, the dinks are old ones, they've got the same patina as the coin so not your fault.

I'm still having problem with the Deus. On the beach I've started doing the cross method and having more success with that. Not too bad in a field now. Not showing off but I got the half sovereign spot in the middle. Mark that up as well as the coin. ;D

think i should take the whites prizm 4 with me and use it just for pinpointing ha ha ha it was a breeze with that  ::)

Well hunted, a nice selection of silver and I bet there is more in that field going by what the landowner has said, and there is a chance that the events go back further than he can remember.

Nice silver well found

You could not be as bad as me when I started, some of my holes were 2 foot across. I then practiced in the garden, still to no avail.
Then someone in the club showed me a well known method, after finding a target move towards it until you start getting a signal, to start with mark the spot with some plastic, a tiddlywink works fine, keep going until the signal disappears, mark that spot. Now move through 90 degrees and do the same thing. Your target is in the middle.
After some practice you can dispense with the tiddlywinks.
Sometimes if the target has a point, it will throw you off a few inches.

thanks i will give it a try im dreadfull at pinpointing ha ha ha and yet i can pinpoint with the prizm 4  ::)
