Only dug the sweet high tones

Not much time to hunt yesterday, but the A T came up with Silver Copper and an old Thimble.

Most of the coins were early 1900 apart from the young head victorian halfpenny.

Looks like a great hunt!

What kind of depth did you get on those small silver coins (are they about the size of a U.S. dime?) ?

HH,
Brian

Hi Brian, they are english silver sixpences and were between five and seven inches deep

sorry I don't know the size of your dimes, but the sixpence was one of the smallest pre-

decimal silver coins here in the U K.
