If you were finding hammered with the Garrett why on earth did you spend all that money on a Safari.
Mind you I can confirm that the Safari loves silver so once you get the hang of it you'll only need to walk over it and it'll be in the bag.
Lovely coin Chris. Well found, they're like hens teeth round here.. Out of interest did you find it local inland or local nearer to the coast.?

Hi Val,the coin was found on farm land about 2 miles in from the coast and was pretty close to an old track(NOT pembs coastal path)in case some people get wrong idea!!! Also I haven't been back there since last year,maybe its time for a re- visit!!Also,I wouldn't swap my SAFARI for all the world,its just great,but the Garrett 250 is the best detector in its class,it taught me a lot,it was even better than the piece of rubbish called the "Euro ace"..UGH!!!!

Nice to know that Chris thanks.  As they say 'The truth is Out There'  so is the occasional hammered.  Lovely find.

Nice coin - scarcer York mint too.

A groat for your first hammered too :) - mind you I've found more Eddy groats than any other type of hammered for some reason!
