Wow man, great condition on the old 3ps! Some really old buttons in great shape too and the drawing compass takes me back to my school days. ( a year or 2 ago!)

I love the silver coin history of this country arty:

Just imagine who carried those around in their pockets before they dropped them for you

Too cool

 

[golddiggerart]

Lovely old silvers and some nice relics... :Y:

 

[ChrisD]

Loving this thread and your finds. The silver piece with flower etching is possibly from a cane/riding crop.

Went out last night to a place I can get a pre dec or two occasionally.

Ive been playing with manual settings to get some more depth & was having a little luck finding them but not so much recovering.
My holes were a bit off making recovery harder and I scratched 2 coins
Just one of those nights where your not really on the ball.

I decided to check a little place Id driven past plenty of times but always put off.

Went to the biggest tree, dug a quick target & thought the ground may have been resurfaced so wasnt expecting much.

Next target I thought was a scratchy, shallow bottle top...

5 x Britannia pennys !?

1902, 1901, 1896, 1891, 1884.

One side was bad & one side was good on all of them so I gave a bit of a polish.

Always an exciting moment getting a coin spill, especially on the older coins. :Y:

 

[Smoky bandit]

Very nice looking coins. erfect:

 

[Bluedevil]

Thanks all :Y:

Was definitely a lucky find - I went back last night for quite a few hours and only came up with a 6p & 1/2 penny...

 

[pete165]

Great finds guys. Now for my turn to find something.

 

[Secret Squirrels]

Nice stuff BD :Y: Mind telling how you got the nice colouring to the vic penny? it's absolutely awesome mate. erfect:

Hi S.S,

I hit it with the Dremel wire wheel & then some brasso.

The brasso started to take off the black/patina so I kept at it.

A little time in lemon juice to help loosen it then plenty of elbow grease with the brasso.

Ive tried with other coins in the past but never got them this clean..

 

[Secret Squirrels]

I can't see any scratch marks on it from the wire wheel, which i would have thought there would be. nice job. :Y:

 

[Bluedevil]

I thought the same but the wire wheels not bad at all - quite handy.

Collectors would probably hate the idea, but as I said each coin had a near perfect side and then a pitted / corroded side so no loss..

 

[Biggest Kev]

Great finds, love those Brittania's and the 1901 cleaned up like new. :Y:

Cheers
Kev
