Well a good morning out after a local farmer called to say that his oat crop had failed and that he had cut it back to ground level. So if i wanted to play i was more than welcome! .. whoopee ..... 3 fields to go at with easy walking and detecting!  It will keep me occupied until harvest kicks in!! 

So out pops this little 200 yr old gem of a tanner. Am well pleased with this!

enjoy!

Nice one Alan.

Your thread title made me look up the origin of the word 'tanner', and I didn't realise that it's not certain, with a few possibilities.

This site has an interesting compilation of slang words for money:

Hi Alan
What cleaning method did you use as it completely transformed the coin?
