I went out on Sunday thanks to an invite from a member of DetectingWales.com (you know who you are!) Had a great time and the weather Gods were pretty kind to us I made a few interetsing finds including a George III sixpence, A Victoria shilling (Jubilee) which were next to each other on a grassy knole! And no I didn't shoot JFK!

A couple of hours later I also found a cut half that I believe is Henry III - can anyone confirm? I was particularly pleased as this was the first cut half I have ever found and it was only 3-4 inches down on pasture!

A few other interesting finds including my first love token (he must have been skint as its a George II farthing!) I never find the thngs, where as my one mate finds them virtually every time we go out. Anyway its one to cross off. A couple of nice condition coppers and my weekly pidgeon rings! ( I always find these flaming things!)

The one thing that does have me stumped is the item in the top left hand of the total finds picture. Any ideas? Looks like it was suspended and theres qite a bit of wear to the suspension hoop.

A great day for me as I managed to shake my 3 months and not a sniff of silver hex - then 3 in one day!

Thanks again for the invite out - had a great time

Cheers

Forgot to add - there will be a few new photos in the "In the soil" section for those of us who like their "Mucky Photos"! Smiley

The Jubilee Head photo is below - best condition milled I have ever found - doesn't look like its been circulated.

wow  |What an unusually good condition one Neil, nice one.
 Rather than see it as a one off, i'd prefere to think of it of the start of things to come

Thanks Kev - best I've pulled out! The slight marking on the low face side is the flash on the camera - its in great condition! Mad considering I dug out a stone either side if it and it was feet away from another signal covered in bricks and stone!

Thanks Al, Casa Botty! where else could you ever say that on the Net?!?!?! Grin Grin Grin

Nice finds Neil. The cut half is Henry III, and looks like it reads ON LVND, so London mint.

Cheers Maxine!

Lets see some of your fantastic finds (for anyone who doesn't know Maxine - they really are outstanding!) in the Gallery.

Hope your move went well.
