Nice find on farmland Racer 2

Just got a permission on a farm of 800 acres!!

3 hoards of BIG gold and silver have been found there over the last 3 years, all been in the papers...so i'm hopingfor luck soon..lol.

No value, buy hay...nice find in my books.

It's dated 1837.

Queen Victoria ‘To Hanover’ gaming tokens or jettons, 1837 to 1867

Little bit more info on it:

A Queen Victoria ‘To Hanover’ gaming token or jetton, dated 1867. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of these were minted between 1837 and 1867 (at least the most recent date I have seen on one of these tokens or jettons is 1867, there may be later dated examples around, some are dated as early as 1830). The man on the horse is not St. George slaying the dragon, but the Duke of Cumberland on route to claim the crown of Hanover.

My settings were:

2 tone
Gain = 85
Iron audio = 8
ID filter = 10

The coin was only about 8 inches down and gave a very good high pitched repeatable tone from every angle.

ID number was 63-65 constantly.

Field was bone dry and Just been ploughed.

I just love the fact that it's quite old and makes my mind wander and think "who was the last person to hold this coin?"

Love it.

Racer 2-tone is DEADLY!!!

Great find! It may not have a lot of value, but I bet you're the first person in history to have found one using the Racer!:beers:

Good point...lol.

Obviously, we'd all like to find a big hoard of gold and silver, but even after 4hours of searching, just finding that one coin, evenn though it aint worth anything, just made the whole day worth it and made me smile ;-)

I wonder who dropped it there?

Man, my mind wanders.....

Another 798 acres to search...may take a while..lol.
