Title: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Neil on November 10, 2008, 05:05:58 PM I went out on Sunday thanks to an invite from a member of DetectingWales.com (you know who you are!) Had a great time and the weather Gods were pretty kind to us I made a few interetsing finds including a George III sixpence, A Victoria shilling (Jubilee) which were next to each other on a grassy knole! And no I didn't shoot JFK!
A couple of hours later I also found a cut half that I believe is Henry III - can anyone confirm? I was particularly pleased as this was the first cut half I have ever found and it was only 3-4 inches down on pasture! A few other interesting finds including my first love token (he must have been skint as its a George II farthing!) I never find the thngs, where as my one mate finds them virtually every time we go out. Anyway its one to cross off. A couple of nice condition coppers and my weekly pidgeon rings! ( I always find these flaming things!) The one thing that does have me stumped is the item in the top left hand of the total finds picture. Any ideas? Looks like it was suspended and theres qite a bit of wear to the suspension hoop. A great day for me as I managed to shake my 3 months and not a sniff of silver hex - then 3 in one day! Thanks again for the invite out - had a great time Cheers Neil Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Neil on November 10, 2008, 05:11:02 PM Forgot to add - there will be a few new photos in the "In the soil" section for those of us who like their "Mucky Photos"! :)
The Jubilee Head photo is below - best condition milled I have ever found - doesn't look like its been circulated. cheers Neil Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Al.Thepastfinder, ( Alan ) on November 10, 2008, 05:21:03 PM wow |What an unusually good condition one Neil, nice one.
Rather than see it as a one off, i'd prefere to think of it of the start of things to come Alan Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on November 10, 2008, 05:41:28 PM Nice selection there Neil, I love that Victorian Shilling.
Well done mate :) Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Neil on November 10, 2008, 05:49:43 PM Can anyone (Peter!) make out the Moneyr or mint? May be difficult as its been cut sideways across the head! Thanks for the comments.
Also the Shilling. Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Kev on November 10, 2008, 06:44:37 PM great finds Neil that Vicki shilling is a cracker m8 .
Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Neil on November 10, 2008, 07:06:35 PM Thanks Kev - best I've pulled out! The slight marking on the low face side is the flash on the camera - its in great condition! Mad considering I dug out a stone either side if it and it was feet away from another signal covered in bricks and stone!
Thanks Al, Casa Botty! where else could you ever say that on the Net?!?!?! ;D ;D ;D Cheers Neil Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: James on November 10, 2008, 09:41:28 PM well done mate!!! ;) two crackers there !!! is that a lead bag seal in the top pic?
Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: Neil on November 10, 2008, 09:47:21 PM Yeah well spotted - looks Victorian.
Cheers Neil Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: The Doc on November 10, 2008, 09:58:33 PM Nice finds Neil. The cut half is Henry III, and looks like it reads ON LVND, so London mint.
Title: Re: Sundays finds - 09/11/08 Post by: BottyBurp (Kris) on November 11, 2008, 09:10:48 AM Any chance please Neil of a picture showing the reverse of your shilling?
