ryaldinhio 4,869 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I can see it. Excuse my ignorance but what is the point? Is there some value to it or is it just a hobby and you find something unique and historic? I'm not trying to be a twat either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 3,622 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Its a strangely addictive hobby I guess value wise I have found enough modern coin to pay for detector, jewellery as well, but its finding something old like a coin with a date and I think to my self who was the last person to handle it some 400years ago. Just find it interesting. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 28,045 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Did you see the seal matrix found in Cobham a few years ago chaff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,851 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Found these old coins wrapped in a checked hanky....you can still see the red check from the 1800's. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stumfelter 3,034 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Nice find, so much more history to that than finding just the coins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,851 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Elizabeth 1st. I have no interest in collecting the stuff I find. Guess it's just the thrill of the hunt. Almost every time I go out I find coins going back through Victorian times....I just leave em on gate posts or on a field style for someone else to find. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
