I know the Wife would be shitting herself about it if I sky rocketed it. I would have had to not tell anybody no even you Guys on here Lol. f**k me I was so made up I wanted to shout it from the highest hill. I would be chuffed to f**k if the British Museum bought it and knew it was on display there. Cheers Arry i didn't realise you had to inform the crown about all finds to be honest arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold is gold and aways worth something. Think if you were throwing it it I think you would throw it into a pond or in a river from a bridge. Yeah I always wonder even if I find a coin how it was lost and the circumstances and how it might have impacted on their lives with the lose. Cheers Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure Kanny to be honest I hope British Museum buys it for a fair price. I never sold anything except a scrap little gold watch and I did that local. This is a different kettle of fish. Just have to wait and see. It's the waiting thats going to be the only drawback as far as I can see. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waltjnr 7,242 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 What carat gold will that be Arry ? Is it Ratner quality? Have you found any tin mine tokens? Or is that further down from you ,where they do a decent pastie and put the jam and cream in the right order? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltjnr 7,242 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I'd want to keep it ,but wouldn't want to give the farmer a Grand? I'd guess it's worth 1500 to 2000k ? Only going by the ones I've seen valued on metal detecting forums ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had to look Tin Miners Token up Walt. No not found any of them but have found Farm tokens. Lead probably 17th century. A Bee hive penny token. old foreign coins that might have been used a tokens. Not token but find a quite a few lead bag seals like this Sutton seeds one. Cheers Arry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
