Post by: Salty (Karl) Cardiff Scan Club on May 03, 2010, 03:58:16 PM Pete, you have me thinking now, when did the sixpences, shillings and half crowns cease to be silver?
Cheers Karl. Title: Re: A detecting milestone for me today!! Post by: The Doc on May 03, 2010, 04:06:11 PM Pete, you have me thinking now, when did the sixpences, shillings and half crowns cease to be silver? Cheers Karl.
