I can not imagine what it would be like to live in an area that coins of that age are found. Heck, I am tickled with a coin from the 1800's and you find them 2100 years old! Fantastic!
I try to tell new people to the forum that the biggest thrill I get when writtng a story is getting the chance to relive it. When you write it it is like doing it all over again.
Any time you have a story about detecting or your youth or anythng about England, please share it. I have never been over there and probably never will and sharing in your adventures is the only way I am ever likely to experience what you have.
If you have gabby friends, besure to tell them about us

I believe you are echoing the story of many of us with our first detecting experiences. You however have access to incredible history and you folks have "hedges" that are older than our countries
Good story, thank you

Thanks guys I wish that I had previewed the pic's before I posted a bit bigger than I anticipated:blush:.
To answer David yes we have to report all silver and gold antiquities and there is asalso a voluntary scheme for recording evrything over 300 years old.
I am humbled by your attitudes. When I first started detecting I was happy to find anything. The age was unimportant to me. I now have a box with Roman and 17th 18th century coins which to me is rubbish. I have gave many Roman coins away to the kids I encounter whilst detecting or even visiting the house and seeing my collection. It seems that I have forgotten the importance of the find. I am more interested in age and condition now. Perhaps it is about time I re-evaluated my attitude.
As for visiting the UK I know that there are people who charge vast sums of money to bring you over here to detect. I am sure that if anyone wanted to come to this country for a detecting holiday that it could be arranged with free detecting. There are plenty of detectorists that would be able to point you in the right direction and get you on some land. We also have rallies over here which although can't guarantee you finding anything the company and british ale make up for it. Last year at one of the big ones someone found a hoard of gold torcs and bracelets which were celtic. A dealer offered him

Welcome! It would be great if you would find it in your heart to become a regular on the Forum. I enjoyed your story and learned a few new things about coin hunting. I did not know that an old coin could break in two after being in the earth for a super long period of time. Please consider posting another story and you are always welcomed here! Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)
