It`s great to see all these fantastic finds  :o
  My best find seems to pale into insignificance in comparason,but not been detecting a year yet,so still happy to find anything!
These 3 milled silver where all found in the same field,on the same day & actually span the 19th century. They`re in good condition & nice looking coins.  :)
