gold coins ?

Hi scampa,
Gold doesn't tarnish, so if the coin looks tarnished (as opposed to just dirty), it's unlikely to be gold.

Scampa,

I'd be thrilled if I'd found this. A token made in 1797, I would treasure it!

Awesome find! Hope you examined that area thoroughly. Never know what you might find.

Thumbs up!

Thanks for the link Mr Ramjet! Very interesting.

Found mine 20 years ago at a football ground..Yeah at first i thought a gold coin also.

Another member unearthed one on the weekend.

As gaming tokens they have little monetary value but, considering their age, they would feature as a top-shelf item in my rare finds collection.

Thanks for sharing

Bit quick to jump the gun fellas IMO :|
Have a read of his previous posts and then decide maybe.

I agree, good way to scare new members off.

Back on topic, love the find scampa. Definitely a keeper for the collection even knowing it's a token
