thought you all might like to see the gold coin i found with my Fisher CZ6a.
thought it was just more lead then saw the edge of a gold coin.
been taking my camera with me for a while now so took these as it came out of the ground.
for those who don't dig the mid tones,here is what you might be leaving behind.

it's a George 111 Guinea 1788

thanks for the replies
i live in Liverpool in the uk.
it's nowhere near as old as some places,there wasn't any romans where i live which is sad for me because i would love to find some roman stuff.
here is the field that i found the gold coin on.

there are 7 more fields around it the same size as this one.
the church you can see over the trees was built in 1170.

here are some of the better finds made this year from these fields.(the mercury dime is for size)
victorian cast doll

back of a silver pocket watch case and a silver thimble

big piece of silver something? has a bit of glass in it that looks broken so i'm thinking it was the base of a vase possably.
the hallmark must have been on the missing bit at the bottom which is a shame but it looks older than victorian.
it also has a crest on it,a figure holdind an arrow in each hand.

silver coins.
the bottom one is from sweden and is a 25 ore dated 1898.

these are my best 2 coin finds from a couple of fields over
Henry 111 penny 1216-1272

richard 1st cut half penny 1189-1199

there are winter crops on all the fields now so i'll have to wait and see what turns up next year.
thanks for looking.

shaun.
