Title: A day out in the drizzle Post by: probono on February 10, 2013, 11:00:14 AM Well, I almost didn't go out as it was a bit wet yesterday, but figured it was going to be (and is) wetter today, so took the chance.
I looked in a different place than normal, but somewhere I've had some modern milled before, and managed to winkle out my first milled gold coin a nice Viccy half sovereign from 1900 - highest denomination I've had off the farm before was a sixpence (found one of those too) :) I am well chuffed :) - although the missus said ' I thought you were looking for earlier stuff than that.......' Glad I made the effort Title: Re: A day out in the drizzle Post by: carling on February 10, 2013, 11:01:48 AM very much worth getting wet for ;D,cracking find.
