thank you everyone for all your  kind words. it is much appreciated.

The find is certainly a special one. The landowner was also impressed with it when we showed him.

The coin will soon be off to the FLO for recording on the National database. It would be extremely sad if the records of our nations history did not have a note of its existence.

I wish you all every success in your searches and remember that regardless of the detector - you have to walk over it to find it. In this case it was aboutt an inch and a half below the surface, so anyone could have found it.

finally ...............................
Joking aside, beginners please note, that the only thing you need to clean gold is water and a soft toothbrush..... do NOT use any of the methods suggested earlier.

Cheers and may all your finds be just as exciting.

LOL nobby, what i should have added was - nothing sticks to gold, so its safe to wash it clean.

cheers
