Odd Coin To Find...

[Pete E]

I was out yesterday with the Nox and flagging a bit as temps reached 30C (don't laugh!) and the ground was a bit hard/dry to be ideal.
Still I plodded on, and out popped the usual mix of Viccy and toasted George coppers, a musket ball, a toy lead goose, a button off a police uniform, and then the coin bellow...

I have found a few foreign coins of the same sort of era in the same and adjacent fields and it always makes me wonder how they reached a hill farm here in North Wales..

The week before I found this John Wilkinson token from the late 1700's which again made a nice change...

Nice find Pete

Incredible what you find. You'd love to know the story of how it ended up in North Wales.

Awesome finds, fascinating these things not only make the journey but circumstances lead them to be be discarded and found later. Cheers for posting up :Y:

Thanks gents!

The copper coins I have posted are fairly mundane finds by Brit standards. In the more historic parts of the UK, the finds that come up are truly eye watering.

Sadly where I live, it takes me a lot of hours to get a pre 1700's find of any description.. I am still waiting to get my first Roman coin, but in some areas people come back with a couple each outing.

Regards,

Peter
