My 1st Groat, my 2nd Cartwheel, then my 2nd Groat

[user 794]

I had an enjoyable day in a paddock or two yesterday.

Found my first groat 1854. Ecstatic. Funnily enough as I was working my way back to the car I got another one 1842. Unbelievable.

I also found my 2nd Cartwheel (I think that is about 10 from this paddock now).

The other coins are a 1837 6d (bent), and 3 half pennies, the oldest is 1805 or 1806.

OK I am no longer talking to you!. Over 4 years and I have neither a groat nor a cartwheel. 8.(

Seriously... Huge congrats. AWESOME finds. :Y:

That is an insane amount of goodness from one spot. How long till a Sovereign or gothic Florin make an appearance?

Beauties Detectist :Y:
My daughter and I found a great condition 1854 groat at Talbot in the GT.
She read it as 4 Pence, but I wisely told her there was no such thing, having grown up on a thrippence (even spell check doesn't recognise that word1) each week for holiday pocket money. It was though.
Had to look it up on the internet that night. A very illuminating/thrilling find.
Well done with your two :Y:
I haven't found a cartwheel yet, but I concentrate on detecting for gold, so coins are a by-line for me.
Have found a "full house" though; all in one deep hole though - Silver had to explain that term to me. (Farthing, shilling, sixpence (3), thrippence, penny and ha'penny - spell checker also doesn't recognise that word). Someone must have dropped their purse and gotten well spanked when home :|

Thanks guys - yep, pretty happy. Very lucky and live near very old areas.

Fingers crossed on the Sov in this area. We've found about 4 beer taps and 3 spirit taps here too.

Bigwave - I do coins and relics in between gold trips as there is not too much gold in publicly available areas close to Canberra.

Thanks again guys

What is the other silver coin Detectist ?

It is an 1837 William IV Sixpence.

Congrats, on the finds, I found a William III silver "Four Pence" and they are not that common, The original Cartwheel pennies were about 3mm thick and from around the 1700s (1797) I found one but the soil eat away the detail,

All very desirable coins for the average detectorist, well done! Your site is proving to be a treasure trove, very lucky to have history on your side in both the ACT & NSW - we came a bit later here in SA, hence such coins are a rarity. :Y:
