New to the Forum, Tales of the MXT in england...Celtic gold and Saxon silver

[chicagoron]

Hi Folks, I have posted on many forums, This is my first time on the MXT forum. I have been using Whites since I started in 1983. Got my MXT in 03. I have taken 6 trips across the pond to England. Hunting around the Colchester area. I go for 1 week in April and 2 weeks in Sept. My Ancient coin list is astounding! I have found 5 celtic gold coins, Roman Silver forgery from 79 A.D., roman bronze coins, a Saxon Silver, hammered silver coins from 1199 to the 1600's plus milled silver from 1690 to present. Also lots of artifacts. I will post a few pics here from the two week trip I just returned from,if you would like to see the rest check out my web page at Chicagoron.com

Those are excellent finds!! Just to think that someone hammered those by hand. Just think about that coins travels buying flour and beer! -WOW. That sure beats digging a Zinc!
