The only one ive had is a George III spade Guinea,1787. But i consider myself lucky as there is a bloke in my local club who has detected since the 80's and never had a gold coin.

I have been very lucky and have had 5 gold coins in the last twelve years. Celtic dubonni stater(Catti), 2 Viccy half soveriegns, Edward 111 qtr noble. The fifth is a Portuguese 6400 reis minted in Minais Gerais, Brazil. The 1733 date coupled with an M make it an extremely rare issue. In an auction in the 70'S it was stated that there were less than 10 known. I know of only one other since.

I will post pics of them when I get chance to suss out how to put them on.
