I have some negatives somewhere, yes it was that long ago, I had been detecting for about 5 years without a sniff, then I got permission to detect a old 2 acre Glebe field in the middle of a small village, which was due for development, first day I found a Edward I farthing Which you could blow off your hand it was that worn. Over the next 10 months I recovered 164 coins from that 2 acres, 72 being hammered.
A site that dreams are made of, My detector at the time was a new Compass Coin Scanner, which was the new big thing that year, and in my mind is still the best detector that I ever owned, which goes to show that many field reports and personal recommendations on detectors are based as much as anything on the site as on the detector.

The frustrating thing was that I had waited a year for the builders to start work on the site, went on holiday for 2 weeks, came back and half the top soil had gone. A month later I went to a club meeting were 2 members were showing 3 hammered coins they had found in a delivery of top soil, yes, it was from my site, and they only had 2 ton of it.

No fairytale amazing coin for my first, but here it is, a Lizzie threepence, very worn and battered but I was chuffed to bits about getting something so old. It was found on Cardiff Scan Club land after I'd been detecting for about five months, with my White's Classic III. Picture shows the reverse, unfortunately the head side is completely gone.

My first (and my brothers too) was a Charles I shilling.  We both chipped in to buy a Viking VK10 when we first started so guess it was both our first hammered.
