Wow lovely find Joel, even with the damage. Frustrating thing is, you know that unless the piece has already been found, it has got to be there somewhere just waiting ;)


PS. And what do you mean "Finally", you haven't been detecting two minutes ;D

Nice one Joel - is it a full sovereign (8g 22ct} or half sovereign (4g 22ct} mate?

As chef says the other bit is out there somewhere!

You've done well to get a gold coin in 10months - I'm still waiting! ::)

The missing part will still be in the same area it looks like its been cut with a gang mower you get a lot of coins like that on sports fields i found a half sovereign on an old town football field and i thought it was a sixpence until i got it home and washed it ,well done hope you find more.
