I detected this little beauty a short while ago,but wanted to show it to my fellow members at the next meeting of the BMDC before I posted the pics on the Web.
A lucky find-no other metal around,not even iron.It was in the'lid'-after using the Garrett probe in the hole and finding no signal,I could see the bright golden-yellow of the coin in the earth.
It goes without saying that I am thrilled to bits Smiley
Can't stop thinking about the poor soul who lost it all those years ago-they must have been gutted.
'arold's not getting his mitts on it,else 'e'll take it straight to see 'Uncle'.Gercha!

Thank you for your kind and generous comments on my find.
I like to look at the human aspect of my finds and then put them in the context of where they were found,as I was taught.
Let's see-the coin probably belonged to a tight geezer who couldn't give a stuff about anyone else.Hmmm-'Oil Drum Lane'.
Hang on a minute....!

A big congratulations is in order Mrs S Wink

That is a stunning find and I can inform the members on here, after seeing it in the meeting, that it looks as if it was minted yesterday, that's how good the condition it's in.

Fantastico Mrs S.
